Get the data from all children in firebase using swift

I have a firebase realtime database. It looks like this:

Image

Here is my code:

ref.child("2").observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { snapshot in

        guard let dict = snapshot.value as? [String:Any] else {
            print("Error")
            return
        }
        let latitude = dict["Latitude"] as Any
        let longtitude = dict["Longtitude"] as Any
        print(longtitude)
        print(latitude)
    })

My problem is that my code retrieves the data from only the child called 2. How can I make it retrieve the data from all the children?

If you have any questions just let me know. Thanks for any help!

You'll want to attach the observer one level higher in the JSON, and then loop over the child nodes:

ref.observeSingleEvent(of: .value) { snapshot in
    for case let child as FIRDataSnapshot in snapshot.children {
        guard let dict = child.value as? [String:Any] else {
            print("Error")
            return
        }
        let latitude = dict["Latitude"] as Any
        let longtitude = dict["Longtitude"] as Any
        print(longtitude)
        print(latitude)
    }
}

Loop syntax taken from Iterate over snapshot children in Firebase, but also see How do I loop all Firebase children at once in the same loop? and Looping in Firebase

You need to listen to ref

ref.observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { snapshot in

        guard let dict = snapshot.value as? [String:[String:Any]] else {
            print("Error")
            return
        }
        Array(dict.values).forEach {
           let latitude = $0["Latitude"] as? String
           let longtitude = $0["Longtitude"] as? Int
           print(longtitude)
           print(latitude)
        }
})
