Cant set numbers as document path Firestore

I have made a function that fetches users from an endpoint, I succefully retrieved the users id, the ids are this ones

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

Now, I want those id's to be the document path to store the data, I have made this.

for (var i = 0; i < jsonresponse.length; i++) {
  var obj = jsonresponse[i];
  var docid = obj.id
  db.collection("users").doc(docid).set(obj)
}

The output of the ids is ok, I have logged them out and they are working, but the document cant be generated with those numbers.

This is what I get from the console log error

Error: Value for argument "documentPath" is not a valid resource path. Path must be a non-empty string.

Edit

console.log("id",docid)

enter image description here

if you have an array with ids, just do this:

jsonresponse = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

for (var i = 0; i < jsonresponse.length; i++) {
  var obj = jsonresponse[i];
  var docid = obj.id
  db.collection('users').doc(""+docid).set(obj);
}

how are you testing that? maybe postman or something is sending the json as text

Perhaps you could take the following approach to writing users data to firebase, by first obtaining a ref() to the target document (via the document path that matches your desired pattern), and then calling .set() on the document ref:

for (const obj of jsonresponse) {

  /* 
  Obtain target document ref from path that is obj id, relative to collection type 
  */
  db.ref(`users/${ obj.id }`).set(obj);
}
