TypeError: string indices must be integers

[saladgg]

I may have left out some important info. I am using firebase realtime db.
This solved my problem. I was supposed to loop through by means of key,value.

class Student(Resource):
    dbStudents = db.reference("/students")
    students = dbStudents.get()

    def get(self, name):
        for key, value in students.items():
            if name == value["name"]:
                return value, 200
        return "student not found", 404
