I want to make a button , that if clicked , just saves data from text input in realtime database.  
I think that I need to create a Web Api. If yes, is this the correct way or do i have to change it. Also i need the code

Hello there.

I think it’s beter for you to follow this [tutorial / doc](https://docs.thunkable.com/variables) on how to connect firebase and use it in thunkable.

Cheers

That does not require an API. You just set cloud variable [Firebase path] to “text”.

For example, if you want to save “hello” at /Users/userId/abcde then you would set cloud variable “Users/userId/abcde” to “hello”.
