I wanted to try FaunaDB, so I made a NodeJS application. I followed along a tutorial which made an application like twitter. However, when I try to access database, I get 403 unauthorized message. I have checked my security keys, but I still get the same error. Any help would be appreciated.
.env file:
KEY=randomString
PORT=5000
index.js:
require("dotenv").config();
const app = require("express")();
const faunadb = require("faunadb");
const client = new faunadb.Client({
secret: process.env.KEY,
});
const {
Paginate,
Get,
Select,
Match,
Index,
Create,
Collection,
Lambda,
Var,
Join,
Ref,
} = faunadb.query;
app.listen(5000, () => console.log(`API on http://localhost:${process.env.PORT}`));
app.get("/tweet/:id", async (req, res) => {
try {
const doc = await client.query(
Get(
Ref(
Collection("tweets"),
req.params.id
)
)
)
res.send(doc);
} catch (err) {
res.send(err)
}
});

Instantiating the client like this:
const client = new faunadb.Client({
secret: process.env.KEY,
});
you are applying a few default parameters, as if you write your code this way (I'm specifying the most important ones only):
const client = new faunadb.Client({
secret: process.env.KEY,
domain: 'db.fauna.com',
scheme: 'https',
});
In case you are using US Region group, EU Region group, or Preview environment, "db.fauna.com" default domain won't work for you.
Thus, you need to provide a domain param explicitly in the constructor.
For US Region group:
const client = new faunadb.Client({
secret: process.env.KEY,
domain: 'db.us.fauna.com',
scheme: 'https',
});
For EU Region group:
const client = new faunadb.Client({
secret: process.env.KEY,
domain: 'db.eu.fauna.com',
scheme: 'https',
});
For Preview:
const client = new faunadb.Client({
secret: process.env.KEY,
domain: 'db.fauna-preview.com',
scheme: 'https',
});
You can read more about Region Groups in the docs: https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/api/fql/region_groups
