Parsing error while sending data from google spreads to Firebase - firebase

Question

I am sending data from my google spreadsheet to Firebase. My data contains values such as "0.5 ml", "2.5 ml", etc. App Script is not being able to parse this data. Here is my code
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("****");
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var dataToImport = {};
for(var i = 1; i < data.length; i++) {
var Name = data[i][1];
dataToImport[Name] = {
Name: Name,
};
}
var secret ="*****"
var firebaseUrl = "******";
var base = FirebaseApp.getDatabaseByUrl(firebaseUrl,secret);
base.setData("", dataToImport);
}
This is the error that I am getting:
"Error: 400 - Invalid data; couldn't parse key beginning at 1:2. Key value can't be empty or contain $ # [ ] / or . (line 303, file "Code", project "FirebaseApp")"

Answer 1

The reason behind the error is the fact that Firebase does not allow some special characters in the Key of the child. As one can see my original code, I was using the name itself as my key, which contains characters like "."
I have changed my code as follows so that the key is set randomly and it is working fine:
function myFunction() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("*****");
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var dataToImport = {};
var secret ="*****"
var firebaseUrl = "*****";
var base = FirebaseApp.getDatabaseByUrl(firebaseUrl,secret);
for(var i = 1; i < data.length; i++) {
dataToImport = {
Name:data[i][1]
};
Logger.log(base.pushData("*****", dataToImport));
}
}
