Access Back4App mongodb

Question

I'm trying to access my back4app app mongodb directly from a python script:

client = pymongo.MongoClient("mongodb://admin:AAA@mongodb4.back4app.com:27017/BBB?ssl=true")

And I see that it connects but can't go further and figure out db name and collection names. Appreciate any help.

The same problem here. Sometimes it works, sometimes - doesn't. All the official documentation says is "You can connect to it at anytime using any MongoClient and make a dump of it and restore this dump wherever you want." -- and no information on how to actually do it. — Mike Ivanov, Apr 03 '17 at 20:53

The db name is "BBB"

In order to get the collections, try:

db = client['BBB']
cols = db.collection_names()
for col in cols:
  print col

Instead of accessing the database directly you can also try a python SDK (not official), like this: https://github.com/milesrichardson/ParsePy
