Calling set overwrites the existing data at the path with the new data you specified. If you want to add a new child under the path with the new data, use push. If you want to merge the new data with the existing data at the path, use update.

Also see the Pyrebase documentation on push and update.

Yes previously I was writing.

li = {"1":"gurjar"}
db.child("Users").child("nishant").child("Friend_list").child("Friends_email").set(li)

But now I am using

db.child("Users").child("nishant").child("Friend_list").child("Friends_email").child(1).set(“gurjar”)

Now if I will change child 1 to 2 then it will append it in the child Friends_email.
