Edge Server MongoDB API Support
Atlas Edge Server natively implements a subset of the MongoDB Wire Protocol, which allows you to access your Atlas data on the Edge using standard MongoDB drivers and tools.
Clients use a specialized MongoDB URI connection string to connect and send requests. For more information about how to connect to the Edge Server using a MongoDB connection string, refer to Connect to the Edge Server with MongoDB Drivers and Tools.
Edge Server currently supports a subset of the MongoDB APIs over the Wire Protocol.
CRUD APIs
Edge Server currently supports using these MongoDB CRUD APIs over the Wire Protocol.
For examples of using these commands, refer to the documentation for the Driver or tool you're using to execute these commands.
Read
Read operations take a query filter and find all documents in a collection that match the filter.
You can find a single document using the
collection.findOne()method.You can find multiple documents using the
collection.find()method.
Insert
Insert operations take one or more documents and add them to a MongoDB collection.
You can insert a document or documents into a collection using the
collection.insert()method.You can insert a single document using the
collection.insertOne()method.You can insert multiple documents at the same time using the
collection.insertMany()method.
Update
Update operations find existing documents in a MongoDB collection and modify their data. You use standard MongoDB query syntax to specify which documents to update and update operators to describe the changes to apply to matching documents.
You can update a document or documents in a collection using the
collection.update()method.You can update a single document using the
collection.updateOne()method.You can update multiple documents in a collection using the
collection.updateMany()method.You can find and update one or more documents in a collection using the
collection.findAndModify()method. This action allows you to atomically find, modify, and return one or more documents with the same command. This avoids the risk of other update operations changing the documents between separate find and update operations.
Note
Edge Server does not currently support upsert.
Delete
Delete operations find existing documents in a MongoDB collection and remove them. You use standard MongoDB query syntax to specify which documents to delete.
You can delete a single document from a collection using the
collection.deleteOne()method.You can delete multiple items from a collection using the
collection.deleteMany()method.
