Firebase not found cloud function?

I am wanted to do some bit testing with cloud function to achieve a bigger goal. As an Android developer, my knowledge is a bit limited in the case of JavaScript.

I am trying to access this database from firebase using Cloud function.

Firebase Realtime Database

My Code to access this database to get JSON response in Browser. 

    const functions = require('firebase-functions');
    const admin = require('firebase-admin');
    admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);
    const cors = require('cors')({origin: true});
    
    // Take the text parameter passed to this HTTP endpoint and insert it into the
    // Realtime Database under the path /messages/:pushId/original
    exports.addMessage = functions.https.onRequest((req, res) => {
      // Grab the text parameter.
      const original = req.query.text;
      // Push the new message into the Realtime Database using the Firebase Admin SDK.
      admin.database().ref('/messages').push({original: original}).then(snapshot => {
        // Redirect with 303 SEE OTHER to the URL of the pushed object in the Firebase console.
        res.redirect(303, snapshot.ref);
      });
    });
    
    // Listens for new messages added to /messages/:pushId/original and creates an
    // uppercase version of the message to /messages/:pushId/uppercase
    exports.makeUppercase = functions.database.ref('/messages/{pushId}/original')
        .onWrite(event => {
          // Grab the current value of what was written to the Realtime Database.
          const original = event.data.val();
          console.log('Uppercasing', event.params.pushId, original);
          const uppercase = original.toUpperCase();
          // You must return a Promise when performing asynchronous tasks inside a Functions such as
          // writing to the Firebase Realtime Database.
          // Setting an "uppercase" sibling in the Realtime Database returns a Promise.
          return event.data.ref.parent.child('uppercase').set(uppercase);
        });
    
    var db = admin.database();
    exports.getUserMessage = functions.https.onRequest((req, res) => {
    var query = firebase.database().ref("messages").orderByKey();
    query.once("value")
      .then(function(snapshot) {
        snapshot.forEach(function(childSnapshot) {
          // key will be "ada" the first time and "alan" the second time
          var key = childSnapshot.key;
          // childData will be the actual contents of the child
          var childData = childSnapshot.val();
      });
    });  
    });

But I am getting the error :

Error: could not handle the request

These are my Log error from Firebase :

here is there the issue is:

var query = firebase.database().ref("messages").orderByKey();

should be 

db.ref("messages").orderByKey();

The firebase you're using in that line is not defined in Cloud Functions for Firebase. If you want to query the database, you already have a reference to it using the Admin SDK:

var db = admin.database();
