If you want to understand JSON, I recommend starting with this video I made: [API JSON Tutorial (Video)](https://community.thunkable.com/t/api-json-tutorial-video/1140575)

But if you only need to get data from Firebase, it’s as simple as using a cloud variable with the path to that value such as “CICPhjX7MIgg9FGH8Cp1vo52GQD3/phonebook/cousin/name” which would return “david”.

You can see an example of what that looks like here: [I want to manage the user's account！ - #7 by tg.202212281f5yop](https://community.thunkable.com/t/i-want-to-manage-the-users-account/2365779/7)

Also check out the Cloud Variables video that is part of the documentation: [Variables - Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/variables#cloud-variables)
