Load Sample Data¶
On this page
Atlas provides sample data you can load into your Atlas clusters. You can use this data to quickly get started experimenting with data in MongoDB and using tools such as the Atlas Data Explorer and MongoDB Charts.
For a list of datasets in the sample and a description of each, see Available Sample Datasets for Atlas Clusters. Each dataset page contains information on the databases, collections, and indexes in the dataset.
Load Sample Data¶
Prerequisites¶
To utilize the sample data provided by Atlas, you must create an Atlas cluster to load data into. See Create a New Cluster for instructions.
Procedure¶
You can load sample data into your Atlas cluster in several ways. You can load sample data from the Atlas User Interface Database Deployments or Data Explorer view, or using the MongoDB Command Line Interface.
Select the appropriate tab based on how you would like to load sample data:
Sample Data Namespaces¶
When you load the sample data, Atlas creates the following namespaces on your cluster:
If any of these namespaces already exist on your cluster when you attempt to load the sample data, the operation will fail and no sample data will be loaded into your cluster.
Database | Collection |
|---|---|
sample_airbnb | listingsAndReviews |
sample_analytics | accounts |
sample_analytics | customers |
sample_analytics | transactions |
sample_geospatial | shipwrecks |
sample_mflix | comments |
sample_mflix | movies |
sample_mflix | theaters |
sample_mflix | users |
sample_supplies | sales |
sample_training | companies |
sample_training | grades |
sample_training | inspections |

Tutorials Using Sample Data¶
Atlas Tutorials¶
The Get Started with Atlas tutorial walks through setting up an Atlas cluster and populating that cluster with sample data.
The Atlas Search tutorial demonstrates how to create an Atlas Search index using data from the sample_mflix sample database.
MongoDB Charts Tutorials¶
The following MongoDB Charts tutorials guide you through visualizing sample data provided by Atlas:
- Visualizing Order Data
- Visualize the Sample Supply Store Dataset, which contains sales order data from a mock office supply company.
- Visualizing Movie Details
- Visualize the Sample Mflix Dataset, which contains data on movies and movie theaters.
