Efficiently handle key tasks —
in one place

Execute key data operations, including indexing, querying, and updating, directly from the MongoDB Query API. No need to switch between interfaces or query syntax.

Simplify the development process

Query and aggregate data using your preferred coding language. The MongoDB Query API includes drivers to programmatically generate queries and build aggregation pipelines— removing the need to learn a new query language from scratch.
Feature overview
mdb_query

Query and update

Use powerful operators like $updateMany and $set to query and update documents in a collection.

general_features_global_clusters

Diverse index types

Optimize your queries with many index types — no matter how deeply nested the fields.

mdb_aggregation_pipelines

Transform + analyze data in place

Create real-time analytics against live data in the same cluster — no ETL or duplication needed.

general_action_search

Full-text search built for the document model

Deploy advanced, full-text search — without the need to manage additional infrastructure.

general_features_tools

Change streams

Build real-time, event-driven apps that react to database changes by triggering server-side logic.

general_features_api

Join and union

Use $lookup and $unionWith to join and blend multiple collections for deep analysis and exploration.

general_features_data_analytics

Geospatial and graph data

Easily query geospatial data and use operators like $graphLookup to traverse connected data sets.

general_features_list

On-demand materialized views

Pre-compute and cache common queries, dynamically updating result sets as new data is processed.
