The MongoDB Query API gives developers an intuitive way to handle complex data workloads for any data type, including arrays, geospatial, and time series data, so they can deliver more with less code.

Work in your preferred language
A single interface for operational, analytical, and search workloads

Work easily with any data type

Get complete control over your data with the MongoDB Query API. It’s designed to handle any data structure with ease, including key-value, graph, geospatial, time series, and objects. Optimized for embedded arrays and objects, these expressive querying capabilities unlock the flexibility of the document model.

Query an array

Query nested documents

Boost productivity with a single interface

Unlock the full potential of data operations. Perform key operations, including indexing, querying, and updating; all through a single, powerful API. Modernize your applications by using transactional, search, and analytical queries, without the need to switch between interfaces or struggle with complex query syntax.

Learn about full-text search

Explore analyzing data

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.
