Hi. Go to your Firebase dashboard / Settings / Service Account. At the bottom, select the Node JS Firebase Admin SDK, click on Generate Private Key. It should download a JSON for you. Rename it to something more convenient like "db.json", pase it in your /functions folder next to your index.js and insert the below into your index.js.

Database URL is in your firebase config file.

This should solve it.

const serviceAccount = require("./db.json");

admin.initializeApp({
  credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount),
  databaseURL: "https://YOURDATABASENAME-NUMBER.firebaseio.com"
});
