MongoDB Atlas Connector

Streamline integration with MongoDB and Tulip to easily send table data to MongoDB

Purpose

Using the MongoDB connector from the library provides a starting point for using the MongoDB Atlas API with Tulip Apps and Automations

NOTE: MongoDB is a NoSQL database; MongoDB has a great introduction here

Setup

Setting up this connector requires the following:

• MongoDB Account
• Atlas API Key (Created on MongoDB)

Going to Data API section will provide more information about the API URL template as well as creating an API Key:

For data on AWS, the URL typicaly resembles:

https://[REGION].aws.data.mongodb-api.com/app/[CLIENT_APP_ID/endpoint/data/v1

How it works

The MongoDB API can read and write data from a MongoDB collection via HTTP API. This can provide some simplicity over SQL connectors

The MongoDB API documentation is linked here

Example Use Cases

Write Station Activity details via the API

Using the endpoint: /endpoint/data/v1/action/insertOne, you can insert data about good parts made, bad parts, uptime, etc.

Lookup Master Data on MongoDB

Using the endpoint:
/endpoint/data/v1/action/findOne, you can find search MongoDB Atlas databases for context regarding work instructions, cycle time, and more
