Operational Limitations of Atlas M0 free clusters and M2/M5 shared clusters

M0 free clusters, M2, and M5 shared clusters have some operational limits. To learn more, see Operational Limitations.

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

Get the available databases for an Atlas MongoDB Process. The Atlas MongoDB process must be a mongod.

The Atlas Administration API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request. To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Get Started with the Atlas Administration API.

https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0

Resource

GET api/atlas/v1.0/groups/{GROUP-ID}/processes/{HOST}:{PORT}/databases

Request Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Necessity	Description
GROUP-ID	string	Required	Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the project that owns this Atlas MongoDB process.
HOST	string	Required	Hostname, FQDN, IPv4 address, or IPv6 address of the machine running the Atlas MongoDB process.
PORT	number	Required	IANA port to which the Atlas MongoDB process listens.

Request Query Parameters

This endpoint may use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. These are all optional.

Name	Type	Necessity	Description	Default
pageNum	integer	Optional	Page number, starting with one, that Atlas returns of the total number of objects.	`1`
itemsPerPage	integer	Optional	Number of items that Atlas returns per page, up to a maximum of 500.	`100`
includeCount	boolean	Optional	Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the totalCount parameter in the response body.	`true`
pretty	boolean	Optional	Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the JSON response in the prettyprint format.	`false`
envelope	boolean	Optional	Flag that indicates whether Atlas wraps the response in an envelope. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set `envelope=true` in the query. Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Atlas adds the status parameter to the response body.	`false`

Request Body Parameters

This endpoint does not use HTTP request body parameters.

Response Elements

Response Document

The response JSON document includes an array of result objects, an array of link objects and a count of the total number of result objects retrieved.

Name	Type	Description
results	array of objects	One object for each item detailed in the results Embedded Document section.
links	array of objects	One or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. The relations between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification
totalCount	integer	Count of the total number of items in the result set. It may be greater than the number of objects in the results array if the entire result set is paginated.

results Embedded Document

Name	Type	Description
databaseName	string	Name of the database. You can use the value to retrieve measurements for the database.
links	array	One or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. The relations between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification

Example Request

Replace the information in brackets {} with your own Atlas information to execute this example request:
