Firebase Permission Denied with Pyrebase library

Question

I have setup a Firebase account and a database.

I have copied the config with the API key into my Python code.

I still get a 401 Permission denied error on P

Answer 1

I ran into this same issue trying to upload data to the database. I reread the beginning of: https://github.com/thisbejim/Pyrebase/blob/master/README.md

import pyrebase

config = {
  "apiKey": "apiKey",
  "authDomain": "projectId.firebaseapp.com",
  "databaseURL": "https://databaseName.firebaseio.com",
  "storageBucket": "projectId.appspot.com",
  "serviceAccount": "path/to/serviceAccountCredentials.json"
}

firebase = pyrebase.initialize_app(config)

Add the serviceAccount entry into the configuration with a path to a key that you can download from Firebase.

To get there: Settings > Project Settings > Service Accounts > Generate New Private Key.

Put that key in some desired location and put that location in the "serviceAccount" path.

Hope it helps.
