This guide is specific to setting up a dataloader with MongoDB. To learn more about data loaders in general, you can read our general article.

​
Connect to your database

To get started, just go to the data loaders page in Hyperline, create a new connection and select “MongoDB” in the dropdown list.
To set up our MongoDB connector, you’ll just need a valid database URL. You can also pass additional parameters within the URL if you need custom options.

​
Load your data

Create a new dataloader directly below the new connection. Hyperline asks you to provide a JSON query. Your query needs to include a collection attribute pointing to your base collection. Unlike traditional SQL providers, MongoDB doesn’t allow direct aggregation queries without a default collection. A simple query to load 3 fields from a collection would typically look like this. Everything outside of “collection” must be a valid MongoDB query field (you can use aggregate, lookups, filters…). Hyperline parses the JSON from your input and transforms it into a valid MongoDB query to run on the connected server.
Make sure to include an id, customerId and timestamp field with the correct casing.
