I have created an Azure function which fetches data from a particular API. I want to now insert the data fetch from API in MONGO database but I have no idea how to proceed.
Please help!!
Also let me know if there is any other information needed
First you have to create a mongo db database either in azure or in mongo and get the connection string of the database. In case of azure create a azure cosmos db api for mongo dB resource from the portal and get the connection string.
Theoretically here we create a client object (here we also pass the connection string) which will connect to the mongo db then we will use the client to create and manipulate the database.
Under the quickstart tab of the azure mongo dB you will find language specific ways to create the client and ways to change the database.
Now using the connection string, we can connect to the mongo dB. Since you are using azure function use the application setting to store the connection string and use them as an environment variable. The application setting is under configuration tab.

I have created an Express, Apollo GraphQL server which accepts requests and returns data from a MongoDB database via Prisma.
I have tested my application with a simple database from MongoDB Atlas and it all seems to work fine.
Now that I know everything works fine, I want to 'plug in' a MongoDB database which contains a lot of data already, located in my Azure portal (Cosmos DB).
I have changed the database connection string to point to this new database (a read only connection string) and now attempting to use the Introspection feature of Prisma (https://www.prisma.io/docs/getting-started/setup-prisma/add-to-existing-project/mongodb/introspection-typescript-mongodb#introspecting-mongodb-with-prisma).
After running the npx prisma db pull --force command, I get the following error:
I can't figure out if this is an issue with my connection string, or something else.
I have also attempted to use the Read/ Write connection string but that doesn't seem to work either. I get the same error message.
There does not seem to be any information online regarding this error message other than this:
https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/api-reference/error-reference#prismaclientvalidationerror
But I am unsure if this is at all related, because it seems to relate to creating a new record, rather than anything to do with introspection.
I have this mongoDB (a SaSS in IBM Cloud) and on this cloud i also have an instance of another noSQL DB, cloudant db.
We were able to connect the cloudant DB on Power BI using only an URL such as "https://8869f932-05f0-4f48-b697-XXXXXXXXXXXX-bluemix.cloudantnosqldb.appdomain.cloud/<DATABASE_NAME>/_design/<DESIGN_DOC_NAME>/_view/<VIEW_NAME>" and "WEB" connection option on PowerBI.
My question is, and i didn't find any info or documentation related to this matter: on MongoDB, there is a way to achieve this kind of connection, using only a uri to a specific view rather than the ODBC connection?
If not, is there any other alternative to connect with this resource on IBM instead of ODBC?
Install mongosqld from : https://docs.mongodb.com/bi-connector/current/installation/
Run mongosqld
Now you can connect to the mongodb instance with read access using mysql/mariadb client or drivers.
NOTE: As mentioned this only has read access, so you can execute all the select queries.
I don't think so if PowerBI doesn't support it already. The MongoDB BI Connector isn't installed in IBM Cloud Databases for MongoDB.
Currently I am trying to clone a cosmos db collection from one database to another database within the cosmos db. The API of the cosmos db is set to Mongo API.
I already tried to use Azure Data factory, but it looks like that there is no support for the Mongo API so far.
Has anyone an idea how to do this respective to efficiency, automation and performance?
Any ideas are appreciated.
You can use data Migration tool suggested by Microsoft to do the same.
There is no way to take a backup and import cosmosdb.
EDIT:
With the new Cosmic Clone tool, you can take a clone/backup with data/stored procedures/triggers/udf, etc. Read my blog on the same.

Actually, Cosmos DB Mongo API and SQL API are all belong to Azure Cosmos DB service.So , you still can create cosmos db linked service and dataset in the azure data factory for your database.
Then you could create copy activity to import data from one collection to another collection.
If you want to make it as an automation task, I suggest using following 2 ways to run the copy activity.
1.Azure Time Trigger Function.
2.Web job which is run in the background of Azure Web App.
Hope it helps you.Any concern, please feel free to let me know.
I used mongodump and mongorestore to copy my database (with mongodb version 4.0.9 installed). From the windows command line I ran the following commands from my mongodb bin directory (c:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin in my case).
This will copy all the collections, including indexes, in the DB to the specified /out directory as .json files.
mongodump.exe /uri:URI /out:A_DIRECTORY_TO_DUMP_TO
I then ran the following command to take everything in the /out directory and write it to the target DB:
mongorestore.exe /uri:URI /dir:DIRECTORY_TO_RESTORE_FROM
NOTE: Before importing I also had to increase the throughput for the collection, otherwise I ran into rate limiting errors. If you've set throughput at the database level this may need to be changed.
I have a Document DB (using the DocumentDB interface, NOT the MongoDb interface), so the connection string looks like:
AccountEndpoint=https://SomeDatabase.documents.azure.com:443/;AccountKey=xxxxx;
it does NOT look like this:
mongodb://SomeDatabase:xxxxx==#SomeDatabase.documents.azure.com:10255/?ssl=true&replicaSet=globaldb
Question:
How do I connect using RoboMongo or other MongoDb tools/code?
The stuff I looked at said things like take the username (that it shows in the MongoDb version of Cosmos DB (which won't help, as it is a totally different database and the connection string there won't work for apps that need the DocumentDb interface)
Is there a way to do this,or by 'adding support for MongoDB interface to Document DB' like adding the ability to talk to a Ms-SQL Server using MongoDB because you can always download MongoDb an install that on the same machine. (and not be able to get any data passed between them)
When you use Cosmos DB, you must choose, for your deployed database, which API to use with it (DocumentDB, MongoDB, Tables, Gremlin). You cannot use multiple APIs against the same database.
The only way to use MongoDB tools & frameworks is to deploy a Cosmos DB database with the MongoDB API. The MongoDB API is what provides compatibility with MongoDB. Note: The oplog is not provided with the Cosmos MongoDB API, so tools that rely on reading/tailing the oplog will not work.
The DocumentDB API does not surface any of the MongoDB API, so you will not be able to use MongoDB-specific tools when deploying a DocumentDB-specific database.
Note: The MongoDB API of Cosmos does not surface an oplog, so any operations which attempt to query the oplog will not succeed.
Have you seen this how-to by Microsoft for this: Use Robomongo with an Azure Cosmos DB

I have a script that I wrote to query mongodb in python I am using PyMongo. I am trying to use this script to connect to a remote MongoDB server and then run the query within the script and then I want to be able to dump the data I get back from the mongodb into a file.
What are the parameters I need to have at the top of the script to connect to this database, use my username and password, switch to the correct database and then run the query?
Couple of options.
First you could provide a MongoDB URI which can be provided to the MongoClient as an argument. Then you can switch as needed using the standard methods for getting a database once connected.
Alternately, you can connect as normal, use the getting a database once connected method to get the desired database and then use the authenticate function to authenticate against the database.
