It’s helpful to see the blocks you used but we need more information. What is and is not working? Are you using the snap to place or drag and drop interface?

Hello!,
Thanks for replying,
I’m using drag and drop, I already set the API and URL parameters from the database, in fact I’m able to write from the app to the Database, but to bring the list and show it in an alert… now that’s another thing

The `Realtime_DB` block has been replaced by cloud variables. I would recommend using those as explained in the [documentation](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/blocks/variables-overview/connect-a-firebase-realtime-database).
This topic has some examples of what those cloud variables look like: [From where can we get the realtime DB block in new thunkable? - #2 by tatiang](https://community.thunkable.com/t/from-where-can-we-get-the-realtime-db-block-in-new-thunkable/2404301/2)
If you can write to the Firebase realtime database then you should use cloud variables to read from it. Also, before you work on an alert, make sure you can set a label’s text to a simple value from your realtime database. What is the green `value` block’s value from your screenshot? And the object properties of `value`?
