MongoDB

Connect MongoDB to your preprocessing pipeline, and use the Unstructured Ingest CLI or the Unstructured Ingest Python library to batch process all your documents and store structured outputs locally on your filesystem.

You will need:

The MongoDB prerequisites for a MongoDB Atlas deployment:

• A MongoDB Atlas account. Create an account.

• A MongoDB Atlas cluster. Create a cluster.

• The cluster must be reachable from your application environment. Learn how.

• The cluster must be configured to use your IP address. Learn how.

• The cluster must have at least one database. Create a database.

• The database must have at least one user, and that user must have sufficient access to the database. Create a database user. Give the user database access.

• The database must have at least one collection. Create a collection.

• The URI for the cluster. This URI must include the protocol, username, password, and host. Learn how to get this value.

The MongoDB connector dependencies:

pip install "unstructured-ingest[mongodb]"

You might also need to install additional dependencies, depending on your needs. Learn more.

For a MongoDB Atlas deployment, the following environment variables:

• MONGODB_DATABASE - The name of the database, represented by --database (CLI) or database (Python).

• MONGODB_COLLECTION - The name of the collection in the database, represented by --collection (CLI) or collection (Python).

• MONGODB_URI - The URI for the cluster, represented by --uri (CLI) or uri (Python).

For a local MongoDB server, the following environment variables:

• MONGODB_HOST - The host for the local MongoDB server, represented by --host (CLI) or host (Python).

• MONGODB_PORT - The port for the local MongoDB server, represented by --port (CLI) or port (Python).

These environment variables:

• UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY - Your Unstructured API key value.
• UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL - Your Unstructured API URL.

Now call the Unstructured Ingest CLI or the Unstructured Ingest Python library. The destination connector can be any of the ones supported. This example uses the local destination connector:
