Hi there @germanydrivingschool, thanks for reaching out! In our Drag and Drop editor, you should now use [cloud variables](https://community.thunkable.com/v/snap-to-place/variables#app-stored-and-cloud-variables) instead of adding a Realtime DB component–which is only available in Snap to Place projects. ---

Hello @germanydrivingschool If you have added both your API key and DB URL, this means you have added your app to firebase and also created a RT Database, if you have added all the credentials right, then you must get the data stored in your DB, And if its still not saving data, then there are two possibilities: 1. You have written the wrong code. 2. Your security rules of RTDB is not correct. How to correct your rules: 1. Go to your project Realtime Databse page 2. Go to the rules section of your project. 3. Make sure your rules are public and read and write are correct, like: ![2292eeb2-2d39-423e-ae0e-b050f135e47f](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/f/6f70feb0d5db88df59252e146be7c08d94217040.jpeg) To know more about security rules, go to: [Get started with Firebase Security Rules  |  Firebase Realtime Database](https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/security/get-started?hl=en&authuser=0&_gl=1*oatou1*_ga*NTM5MDk5NjYxLjE2ODc4NDEyOTM.*_ga_CW55HF8NVT*MTY4OTMzNTQ1NC44LjEuMTY4OTMzNTkwOS4wLjAuMA)… If there is still any issue, then please send the ss of your code, and if this solved your problem, then please mark this problem as solved. ---

Yes. If you do set cloud variable “topLevel” to “test” then you should see in your Firebase Realtime Database (in the Firebase console): topLevel : “test” ---
