Get Available Databases for a MongoDB Process¶
On this page
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.

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 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.
