Cannot connect to firebase database from webapp with python.

I have a python web app.When I try to connect to the firebase with firebase admin I get error.This is how I tried to connect.

from firebase_admin import db
ref = db.reference('server/data')

And the error i get is

'string.'.format(url))
ValueError: Invalid databaseURL option: "None". databaseURL must be a non-empty URL string.

How can someone tell me how to do this correctly

As the error tells you forgot to initialize the Firebase SDK as the dataBaseURL is not set, have a look here how to do the initialization:

https://firebase.googleblog.com/2017/07/accessing-database-from-python-admin-sdk.html

From there:

import firebase_admin
from firebase_admin import credentials

cred = credentials.Cert('path/to/serviceKey.json')
firebase_admin.initialize_app(cred, {
    'databaseURL' : 'https://my-db.firebaseio.com'
})
