I’m trying to set up Firebase to test a feature. I created a project, web app and database within firebase. Following Thunakble Docs instructions, the Firebase database URL should be: https:// **projectId**.firebaseio.com - NOT WORKING

It seems they changed the format, so i tried the database link format:  
gs:// **projectid**.appspot.com - NOT WORKING  
[https://console.firebase.google.com/project/\*\*projectID\*\*/storage/path-ponder-2.appspot.com/files](https://console.firebase.google.com/project/ **projectID** /storage/path-ponder-2.appspot.com/files) - NOT WORKING

ERROR:  
Firebase Connection issue: Check API key and Database URL. Refer to our [docs]

It sounds like you’re using the Cloud Storage url from the Storage section of the Firebase Console. Make sure you’re clicking on Realtime Database to find the url that ends in [firebaseio.com](http://firebaseio.com).

You should still be able to use “https://-default-rtdb.firebaseio.com”

I ended up going in a different direction and not using Firebase.  
I did test your suggestion and you’re correct, I was using the wrong type of database. Thanks for the help!
