I have an issue with Firebase error code 401 - json

Question

So recently I'm trying to make a GlobalBan script for my admin module in ROBLOX, but I came across an error when I tried to do GlobalBan.
Below is the error and script:
local defaultDatabase = "Private";
local authenticationToken = "Private"
local HttpService = game:GetService("HttpService");
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService");
local FirebaseService = {};
local UseFirebase = true;
--== Script;
function FirebaseService:SetUseFirebase(value)
UseFirebase = value and true or false;
end
function FirebaseService:GetFirebase(name, database)
database = database or defaultDatabase;
local datastore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore(name);
local databaseName = database..HttpService:UrlEncode(name);
local authentication = ".json?auth="..authenticationToken;
local Firebase = {};
function Firebase.GetDatastore()
return datastore;
end
function Firebase:GetAsync(directory)
local data = nil;
--== Firebase Get;
local getTick = tick();
local tries = 0; repeat until pcall(function() tries = tries +1;
data = HttpService:GetAsync(databaseName..HttpService:UrlEncode(directory and "/"..directory or "")..authentication, true);
end) or tries > 2;
if type(data) == "string" then
if data:sub(1,1) == '"' then
return data:sub(2, data:len()-1);
elseif data:len() <= 0 then
return nil;
end
end
return tonumber(data) or data ~= "null" and data or nil;
end
function Firebase:SetAsync(directory, value, header)
if not UseFirebase then return end
if value == "[]" then self:RemoveAsync(directory); return end;
--== Firebase Set;
header = header or {["X-HTTP-Method-Override"]="PUT"};
local replyJson = "";
if type(value) == "string" and value:len() >= 1 and value:sub(1,1) ~= "{" and value:sub(1,1) ~= "[" then
value = '"'..value..'"';
end
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
replyJson = HttpService:PostAsync(databaseName..HttpService:UrlEncode(directory and "/"..directory or "")..authentication, value,
Enum.HttpContentType.ApplicationUrlEncoded, false, header);
end);
if not success then
warn("FirebaseService>> [ERROR] "..errorMessage);
pcall(function()
replyJson = HttpService:JSONDecode(replyJson or "[]");
end)
end
end
function Firebase:RemoveAsync(directory)
if not UseFirebase then return end
self:SetAsync(directory, "", {["X-HTTP-Method-Override"]="DELETE"});
end
function Firebase:IncrementAsync(directory, delta)
delta = delta or 1;
if type(delta) ~= "number" then warn("FirebaseService>> increment delta is not a number for key ("..directory.."), delta(",delta,")"); return end;
local data = self:GetAsync(directory) or 0;
if data and type(data) == "number" then
data = data+delta;
self:SetAsync(directory, data);
else
warn("FirebaseService>> Invalid data type to increment for key ("..directory..")");
end
return data;
end
function Firebase:UpdateAsync(directory, callback)
local data = self:GetAsync(directory);
local callbackData = callback(data);
if callbackData then
self:SetAsync(directory, callbackData);
end
end
return Firebase;
end
return FirebaseService;
Error Code:
23:50:36.033 TestService: Data table for bans is currently nil. - Studio
23:50:36.255 FirebaseService>> [ERROR] HTTP 401 (Unauthorized) - Studio
I have tried to create new database + renewing my auth token, still getting Error code 401.
I feel like its my auth token issue but at the same time I don't think it is either, hope you guys can help me figure out the error. Feel free to ask if you need more info regarding this issue.

Answer 1

It turns out my auth token was the wrong one, everything's good now
