Cloud Manager will no longer support Automation, Backup, and Monitoring for MongoDB 3.6 and 4.0 after August 30th, 2024. Please upgrade your MongoDB deployment or migrate to Atlas.

OAuth 2.0 authentication for programmatic access to Cloud Manager is available as a Preview feature.: The feature and the corresponding documentation might change at any time during the Preview period. To use OAuth 2.0 authentication, create a service account to use in your requests to the Cloud Manager Public API.

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {PROJECT-ID} is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. This page uses the more familiar term group when referring to descriptions. The endpoint remains as stated in the document.

false

Request Body Parameters

This endpoint doesn't use HTTP request body parameters.

Response

Name	Type	Description
activeAgentCount	integer	Number of active agents sending regular pings to Cloud Manager. The value is refreshed about every 24 hours and cached. If you start a new agent or stop an existing one, the change can take up to 30 minutes to show up in the `activeAgentCount` field.
hostCounts	object	Total number of hosts by type. The embedded fields should be self-explanatory.
id	string	Unique identifier for the group.
lastActiveAgent	string	Time Cloud Manager last updated the `activeAgentCount` total for the project. Cloud Manager refreshes this value every 24 hours and caches it to record the number of active MongoDB Agents.
links	object array	One or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. All `links` arrays in responses include at least one link called `self`. The relationships between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification.
name	string	Display name for the project.
orgId	string	Unique identifier for the organization to which the project belongs.
publicApiEnabled	boolean	Flag indicating that the API is enabled for this project. This is a read-only field that is always `true`.
replicaSetCount	integer	Total number of replica sets for this project.
shardCount	integer	Total number of shards for this project.

Example Request

curl --user "{PUBLIC-KEY}:{PRIVATE-KEY}" --digest \
     --include \
     --request GET "https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/public/v1.0/groups/byName/{GROUP-NAME}?pretty=true"

Important

Some characters are not allowed in URLs. These are called reserved characters. If your {GROUP-NAME} includes reserved characters, like spaces, you must replace them with their percent encoding.

For example, instead of making this request (via curl):

curl --user "{PUBLIC-KEY}:{PRIVATE-KEY}" --digest \
 --header "Accept: application/json" \
 --include \
 --request GET "https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/public/v1.0/groups/byName/My%20Project?pretty=true"

Make this request (via curl):

curl --user "{PUBLIC-KEY}:{PRIVATE-KEY}" --digest \
 --header "Accept: application/json" \
 --include \
 --request GET "https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/public/v1.0/groups/byName/My%20Group?pretty=true"
