# MongoDB

> Batch process all your records using `unstructured-ingest` to store structured outputs locally on your filesystem and upload those local files to an MongoDB collection.

First you’ll need to install the MongoDB dependencies as shown here.

```bash
pip install "unstructured[mongodb]"
```

## Run Locally

The upstream connector can be any of the ones supported, but for convenience here, showing a sample command using the upstream local connector.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Shell
  #!/usr/bin/env bash

  unstructured-ingest \
    mongodb \
    --metadata-exclude filename,file_directory,metadata.data_source.date_processed \
    --uri "$MONGODB_URI" \
    --database "$MONGODB_DATABASE" \
    --collection "$MONGODB_COLLECTION" \
    --output-dir mongodb-ingest-output \
    --num-processes 2
  ```

  ```python Python
  import os

  from unstructured.ingest.connector.mongodb import (
      SimpleMongoDBConfig,
  )
  from unstructured.ingest.interfaces import PartitionConfig, ProcessorConfig, ReadConfig
  from unstructured.ingest.runner import MongoDBRunner

  if __name__ == "__main__":
      runner = MongoDBRunner(
          processor_config=ProcessorConfig(
              verbose=True,
              output_dir="mongodb-ingest-output",
              num_processes=2,
          ),
          read_config=ReadConfig(),
          partition_config=PartitionConfig(
              metadata_exclude=["filename", "file_directory", "metadata.data_source.date_processed"],
          ),
          connector_config=SimpleMongoDBConfig(
              uri=os.getenv("MONGODB_URI"),
              database=os.getenv("MONGODB_DATABASE_NAME"),
              collection=os.getenv("DESTINATION_MONGO_COLLECTION"),
          ),
      )
      runner.run()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

For a full list of the options the CLI accepts check `unstructured-ingest <upstream connector> mongodb --help`.

NOTE: Keep in mind that you will need to have all the appropriate extras and dependencies for the file types of the documents contained in your data storage platform if you’re running this locally. You can find more information about this in the [installation guide](/open-source/installation/overview).
