使用 firebase 时出现 401 客户端错误

Question

I'm new to firebase and I'm trying to update some data in an existing project but I'm getting the following error: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url. So how to fix this problem and thank you, I just want to mention also that I have been added to the project. so I'm not the owner: this is my code:

from firebase import firebase

firebase = firebase.FirebaseApplication("the http path", None) # None bcz we are testing

firebase.put("/esco-lebanon/device-configs/atest-dev", "brightness", 50)

print("Updated")

According to the documentation , a 401 error means one of the following:

• The auth token has expired.
• The auth token used in the request is invalid.
• Authenticating with an access_token failed.
• The request violates your Firebase Realtime Database Rules.

The understanding here is that your client code needs to correctly identify a Firebase Authentication user with a token in access_token , and that user account must have access to read the data in the database according to its security rules. Since you haven't provided a token, your access is coming in anonymously, so you could only query data where security rules allow universal access.

If you haven't investigated using authentication in your request, you should read the documentation about that .
