This is the easiest part.

The URL of your API is the Database URL part + the bucket or the path to your required key + `.json`

Do this and you will get the JSON value of that key.

You don’t really lose any thing, you will replace the DB Get block with API block using a simple 3 part URL.

@jared had shared the planet names from his Firebase account using this

`https://jared-gibb-project-123-default-rtdb.firebaseio.com/.json`
