Hi @suchatchuan16261m5ms, welcome to Thunkable! Could you explain a bit more what you mean by Realtime BD? ---

Realtime Database is a real-time data stored in firebase. ---

@matt_conroy ,I’ve used it in older versions of Thunkable. But when I use the new version, I can’t find it. ![สกรีนช็อต 2023-04-14 013558](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/a/ea64069520c66ce7f3e1fab7cb117f8e1e35151c.png) ---

@suchatchuan16261m5ms Firebase settings are located in the Project Settings bar, there is no longer an invisible component you would add in like in Snap to Place projects. ![Screenshot 2023-04-13 at 5.04.12 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/c/fc696f89a6d1348d82acae2402018f8df415c5b1.png) ---

In the DnD (or new) interface, there is no Firebase DB component. Instead, you can use cloud variables in the _Blocks_ tab. Cloud variables are the same thing as Firebase DB. But before that, you need to fill in the API key and Database URL, just like @matt_conroy said in the post above. For more information about variables, visit the [docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/variables). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/9/29dde5fa6d4afb3f407080f60feb04a0ac3b7bef.png) ---
