Hi there! I would like some help in interfacing with, or at least getting the value from, my Firebase RDB to Thunkable. I watched a couple of video tutorials, but they were for an older version of Thunkable; now I’d like to know how to use the new version. I can easily do this in MIT App Inventor, but is this possible in Thunkable? All I watched was about signing up and signing in, but there’s nothing about interacting and not setting the value. This is my block in MIT App Inventor: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/5/25d12ddb6df5f4e92ac217092ec8272ca75699df.png) And I want this Firebase database of mine: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/e/bea1ec46471ada26d3d15b8e5099ba79a7babf6f.png) To interface with this Thunkable app that I design: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/5/75c0164af427f149c2da735b6668f591ef90ef8f.png) All I have managed is entering the API and URL of my Firebase to Thunkable. But making blocks is extremely difficult for me. I would appreciate a demo app that can do this so I can analyze it for myself. Thank you in advance for your future responses!!! ---

@zian.muinxij check this example ![Στιγμιότυπο οθόνης (1462)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/3/834952f00531ae210854764d3ee6edd478ecfec2.png) ---

I find that example confusing because you’re using a _variable_ for the name of the cloud variable instead of a text string. I generally try to avoid that because it adds an extra layer of complexity. The basic idea is to set a cloud variable with the path to the Firebase data. So if your Firebase database looks like this: Users/ …UserID …12345 …Age Then to set the value of the “Age” key/property, you would set cloud variable “Users/UserID/12345/Age” Keep in mind that if your Firebase data contains arrays, you will need to use the list blocks to reference that data. ---

Hi, thanks for the advice but can you show me a snippet of blocks that can interface this cloud variable to a label? ---

Hello, Have you tried to implement any cloud blocks? Can you try rephrasing the question please? We would be happy to offer support. ---

So far, from what I understood, this is what I managed to make: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/b/8bcf7b3af71fec366495ad70fcd72b9c15feb1a9.png) I was trying to use this cloud variable to store my data from Firebase but what I don’t get is how to store this cloud variable to an app variable which I can use to interface/show this is my percent label. I need to store 3 variables. You can see in my screenshot of Firebase Database, I need to interface these Tank1, Tank2, and Tank3 at the same time. And the data will also update in my screen in their respective label. I just want to change this percent label: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/4/3408a11ec1697d5dd3680c6c299ba844646fa4bb.png) to the value from my Firebase Database here: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/c/2cf23f1e2727d5fce52dad3755f6be7e24535de2.png) Again thank you for responding to me 🙂 ---

This can be done with the following blocks ![Στιγμιότυπο οθόνης (1467)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/5/a538da82d2034e15684de256007b4675654d9b87.png) You can use the “set variable” block when you want to update these variables Let me know if it worked for you. ---

Thank you very much @ioannis !!! You really saved me; it works! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/0/e043659db53b8da5cbff20413f906e3b11a2dc8a.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/4/64ad83f414d52f2b9a693c458c414f0d95c0c51d.png) Now, I finally understand how this cloud variable works. ---
