rename the unique name at post request on firebase

support I am doing a post request on the firebase.

result = fb.post('/orders/', {'id': 2})

in result I always get the unique name generated at the time of post request. Like {u'name': u'-KAdbw7DfCuuRhFWZH7j'}

But I need to give it name of my choice. {u'name': 'aaa'}

Is there any means to do that.

Cause the item created needs to be access and updated using the put request so I need to pass this unique id to make a put request. If I would give the name of my choice I can use that name without passing an extra argument in my request json.

I’m still able to do it:

import firebase

url = 'https://myapp.firebaseio.com'
fb = firebase.FirebaseApplication(url, None)
result = fb.patch('/users/alanisawesome/', {'date_of_birth': 'someday', 'full_name': 'Alan Turing'})

What were your exact commands?

What you should do is specify the name when you create the Firebase reference. And thereafter, you should post to that url.

For example, suppose fb is your firebase reference. You should create it as such: my_url = 'my_app.firebase.io/aaa' fb = firebase.FirebaseApplication(my_url, None)

Now instead of posting, patch it… result = fb.patch(my_url + '/orders', {'id': 2})

Your data should be in 'aaa' as in… result = firebase.get(my_url + '/orders', 'id') print result['id'] == 2

Let me know if that doesn’t work for you.
