When you access Firebase using Thunkable you supply **API key** and **Database URL**.

The API key is used to create either an **Auth token** or a **User token** or both. however, these tokens are only required if you set the **Rules** in Firebase to deny anonymous access but if you allow access without any authentication then you can actually use the `Web API` component to get data from the database.

For Example, I have a test database that I do not use any security in it. See the rules:

```auto
{
  "rules": {
    ".read": "true", 
    ".write": "true", 
  }
}

```

So, I allow everyone to read or write to this database. In this case, I can get data just by using the **Database URL** and add to it the keys I want to retrieve and add to the end **.json**

Example:  
My test database is my-demodb and I want to retrieve the key **myBook/Students** so the full URL will be

```auto
https://my-demodb-9d875-default-rtdb.firebaseio.com/myBook/Students.json

```

I used this code to get a list of the students key

This is the output from my mobile

Now, when you have security in place then you will need one of the methods to generate a token to access your data. I might write a more descriptive post about how to access using tokens.

To read about **Auth API** see this
