How can I get data from only one table in Firebase Realtime Database

I have a big problem that I need to address quickly. I have my firebase realtime database structured this way:

Picture:

enter image description here

My question is simple: How can I only retrieve the friendIds as a list without the inner data i.e firendsStatus, lastMessage, lastTimestamp...

My current response is like this: {friendsArray: {'34uibjerktbbt854uigefg' : {'lastMessage' : 'ajskdkjasd',...}, {'574uibsd784546ktbbt854uigefg' : {'lastMessage' : 'weurhisdf', ...} and so on}}

I want it to be like this: {friendsArray: ['34uibjerktbbt854uigefg', '34uibjerktbbt854uigefg', '34uibjerktbbt854uigefg', and so on]}

Is there any way to achieve this because if I observe the whole data it gets pretty big and slow?

Thank You

Thats unfortunately not how realtime database works it always fetches all of the data below as well, you can use cloud firestore instead or re-design your realtime database so the nodes are not tested you can create separate nodes that only contains the data you need to fetch
