Im trying to connect my python script to a Firebase database. Here is the code:

import firebase_admin
from firebase_admin import credentials, db
cred = credentials.Certificate("irebase-adminsdk-ofcmd-bwd7fbcz2c.json")
firebase_admin.initialize_app(cred, {'databaseURL':'https://company.firebaseio.com/'})

ref = db.reference('/users').get()

The ERROR Im facing looks like this:

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://company.firebaseio.com/users.json

I did a lot of research and everyone says that I have to find the right URL in the 'Realtime Database' Section. I wonder if there is any way to access the Firebase db without having realtime one enabled.

CodePudding user response：

if you are looking to access the Firebase Database without having the realtime one enabled, you can try the Cloud Firestore which is a different database service provided by Firebase which doesn't require realtime database to be enabled but you may need to change the way you are accessing the data

import firebase_admin
from firebase_admin import credentials, firestore

# Initialize the Firebase Admin SDK with your service account credentials
cred = credentials.Certificate("firebase-adminsdk-that-cred-file.json")
firebase_admin.initialize_app(cred)

# Create a reference to the Firestore database
db = firestore.client()

# Read data from a specific document in the 'users' collection
doc_ref = db.collection('users').document('user1')
doc = doc_ref.get()

# Print the data from the document
print(doc.to_dict())
