如何在MongoDB集合上循环文档并与每个文档一起执行发布请求？

Question

This is a one time task that I need to perform. I'm new to mongo and programming but I think that I figured out a way of doing it but I need some help with details.

I want to loop over a whole collection and send each document as a POST request.

col.find().sort('updatedAt', pymongo.ASCENDING).forEach( javascript function )

The above commenad should work. But my concerns are:

1. Instead of js could I use python? I haven't worked with js before.
2. If not, can I create post requests with javascript?
3. Can I do it from the terminal in the mongo shell?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Javascript (ES5)

db.collection.find({}).sort('updatedAt': 1).forEach(function(doc){postFunction(doc)});

1. You can do this in Python.
2. You can create a post request server-side with Node.js.
3. You cannot send post requests with the mongo shell.
