You should always use the downloaded code from the project folder as it’s always the most up-to-date.
However, in this case, it doesn’t matter. because you should replace YOUR_PROJECT_API_KEY with your actual API key (the one that you got in previous chapters of the eBook).

Let me know if this is clear.

Sara

Thank you for your answer,
I go from firebase again and make a new project,
Get a new API KEY, download the Sketch folder (Arduino IDE),
When I used the downloaded code,
Example) 3.3 Send data to the ‑ database: Sensor readings,
I tried it again
I think it’s going well so far
Thank you.
