Connecting to MongoDB

you can not whitelist a domain, only IPs

What is the correct way for implementing server side rendering database connections under varying IP addresses in production settings?

you could use a proxy that has a static IP, or you could use Moralis SDK to make queries in db and not connecting directly to DB (you can use master key server side)

Thanks for you fast feedback! Will give that a try :+1:

Works like a charm with the Moralis SDK. Great work!

I feel like a 2 or 3 minute video would be very helpful for this. I’m spending hours on this and still no luck. Like where do you put the python script query? in the database api?

there is such a small amount of official documentation on this compared to some other topics. one little paragraph and a couple forum posts

The python script you can run it locally after you whitelisted your public IP. You can use any other language to connect to mongo db. Or any other tool.

ok when i try to add an ip for whitelist and hit save it doesn’t do anything

Try a logout and login again

I also keep getting an “error sycning plugins: invaled token request”

awesome! i was able to add an IP. now to figure out what the issue is now…

i type import pprint locally and get error

What error? Did you install python?

Yes I have downloaded and installed. Not sure what if I need to type any more prompts to fully install the package. it says “import” is not recognized aha

I was supposed to go to mongo website and make a cluster, correct? Or was that part unnecessary?

what do you want to do? you don’t need necessarily to go to mongo website if you only want to connect to mongo db

i want to view and manipulate the data. add counter columns

ok, it may be easier to use Moralis SDK directly, look in dashboard interface, if you don’t have too much experience in programming

it says reference admin settings for host and port, but all i see is IP. I assume that’s one of the two
