Authentication failing

I'm getting a "HTTP response error: 404" in the auth stage. I've just started trying to use this library so I could be misusing it, appologies if I am.

So there were two issues with my setup. Firstly the authentication json file you download for a service user sets the project ID to the generic project ID, I needed to set that to my database ID. I don't know if this may conflict with other libraries reading the same auth file, but I feel it may not be a bad idea to document it.

Secondly, I needed to set some authentication up. For early development I'm going with if uid is equal to my service user, long term I assume I'm going to end up writing more in depth permissions.

For other firebase newcomers here are the docs for those permissions https://firebase.google.com/docs/rules/get-started
