- async aggregate(pipeline, session=None, let=None, comment=None, **kwargs)¶
Perform an aggregation using the aggregation framework on this collection.
The
aggregate()
method obeys theread_preference
of thisAsyncCollection
, except when$out
or$merge
are used on MongoDB <5.0, in which casePRIMARY
is used.Note
This method does not support the ‘explain’ option. Please use PyMongoExplain instead. An example is included in the Aggregation Framework documentation.
Note
The
write_concern
of this collection is automatically applied to this operation.- Parameters:
pipeline (_Pipeline) – a list of aggregation pipeline stages
session (Optional[AsyncClientSession]) – a
AsyncClientSession
.let (Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]) – A dict of parameter names and values. Values must be constant or closed expressions that do not reference document fields. Parameters can then be accessed as variables in an aggregate expression context (e.g.
"$$var"
). This option is only supported on MongoDB >= 5.0.comment (Optional[Any]) – A user-provided comment to attach to this command.
kwargs (Any) – extra aggregate command parameters.
- Return type:
AsyncCommandCursor[_DocumentType]
All optional aggregate command parameters should be passed as keyword arguments to this method. Valid options include, but are not limited to:
allowDiskUse (bool): Enables writing to temporary files. When set to True, aggregation stages can write data to the _tmp subdirectory of the –dbpath directory. The default is False.
maxTimeMS (int): The maximum amount of time to allow the operation to run in milliseconds.
batchSize (int): The maximum number of documents to return per batch. Ignored if the connected mongod or mongos does not support returning aggregate results using a cursor.
collation (optional): An instance of
Collation
.
- Returns:
A
AsyncCommandCursor
over the result set.- Parameters:
pipeline (_Pipeline)
session (Optional[AsyncClientSession])
let (Optional[Mapping[str, Any]])
comment (Optional[Any])
kwargs (Any)
- Return type:
AsyncCommandCursor[_DocumentType]
Changed in version 4.1: Added
comment
parameter. Addedlet
parameter. Support $merge and $out executing on secondaries according to the collection’sread_preference
.Changed in version 4.0: Removed the
useCursor
option.Changed in version 3.9: Apply this collection’s read concern to pipelines containing the $out stage when connected to MongoDB >= 4.2. Added support for the
$merge
pipeline stage. Aggregations that write always use read preferencePRIMARY
.Changed in version 3.6: Added the session parameter. Added the maxAwaitTimeMS option. Deprecated the useCursor option.
Changed in version 3.4: Apply this collection’s write concern automatically to this operation when connected to MongoDB >= 3.4. Support the collation option.
Changed in version 3.0: The
aggregate()
method always returns an AsyncCommandCursor. The pipeline argument must be a list.See also
- async aggregate_raw_batches(pipeline, session=None, comment=None, **kwargs)¶
Perform an aggregation and retrieve batches of raw BSON.
Similar to the
aggregate()
method but returns aAsyncRawBatchCursor
.This example demonstrates how to work with raw batches, but in practice raw batches should be passed to an external library that can decode BSON into another data type, rather than used with PyMongo’s
bson
module.>>> import bson >>> cursor = await db.test.aggregate_raw_batches([ ... {'$project': {'x': {'$multiply': [2, '$x']}}}]) >>> async for batch in cursor: ... print(bson.decode_all(batch))
Note
aggregate_raw_batches does not support auto encryption.
Changed in version 3.12: Added session support.
Added in version 3.6.
- Parameters:
pipeline (_Pipeline)
session (Optional[AsyncClientSession])
comment (Optional[Any])
kwargs (Any)
- Return type:
AsyncRawBatchCursor[_DocumentType]
- async watch(pipeline=None, full_document=None, resume_after=None, max_await_time_ms=None, batch_size=None, collation=None, start_at_operation_time=None, session=None, start_after=None, comment=None, full_document_before_change=None, show_expanded_events=None)¶
Watch changes on this collection.
Performs an aggregation with an implicit initial
$changeStream
stage and returns aAsyncCollectionChangeStream
cursor which iterates over changes on this collection.async with await db.collection.watch() as stream: async for change in stream: print(change)
The
AsyncCollectionChangeStream
iterable blocks until the next change document is returned or an error is raised. If thenext()
method encounters a network error when retrieving a batch from the server, it will automatically attempt to recreate the cursor such that no change events are missed. Any error encountered during the resume attempt indicates there may be an outage and will be raised.try: async with await db.coll.watch([{"$match": {"operationType": "insert"}}]) as stream: async for insert_change in stream: print(insert_change) except pymongo.errors.PyMongoError: # The AsyncChangeStream encountered an unrecoverable error or the # resume attempt failed to recreate the cursor. logging.error("...")
For a precise description of the resume process see the change streams specification.
Note
Using this helper method is preferred to directly calling
aggregate()
with a$changeStream
stage, for the purpose of supporting resumability.Warning
This AsyncCollection’s
read_concern
must beReadConcern("majority")
in order to use the$changeStream
stage.- Parameters:
pipeline (Optional[_Pipeline]) – A list of aggregation pipeline stages to append to an initial
$changeStream
stage. Not all pipeline stages are valid after a$changeStream
stage, see the MongoDB documentation on change streams for the supported stages.full_document (Optional[str]) – The fullDocument to pass as an option to the
$changeStream
stage. Allowed values: ‘updateLookup’, ‘whenAvailable’, ‘required’. When set to ‘updateLookup’, the change notification for partial updates will include both a delta describing the changes to the document, as well as a copy of the entire document that was changed from some time after the change occurred.full_document_before_change (Optional[str]) – Allowed values: ‘whenAvailable’ and ‘required’. Change events may now result in a ‘fullDocumentBeforeChange’ response field.
resume_after (Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]) – A resume token. If provided, the change stream will start returning changes that occur directly after the operation specified in the resume token. A resume token is the _id value of a change document.
max_await_time_ms (Optional[int]) – The maximum time in milliseconds for the server to wait for changes before responding to a getMore operation.
batch_size (Optional[int]) – The maximum number of documents to return per batch.
collation (Optional[_CollationIn]) – The
Collation
to use for the aggregation.start_at_operation_time (Optional[Timestamp]) – If provided, the resulting change stream will only return changes that occurred at or after the specified
Timestamp
. Requires MongoDB >= 4.0.session (Optional[AsyncClientSession]) – a
AsyncClientSession
.start_after (Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]) – The same as resume_after except that start_after can resume notifications after an invalidate event. This option and resume_after are mutually exclusive.
comment (Optional[Any]) – A user-provided comment to attach to this command.
show_expanded_events (Optional[bool]) – Include expanded events such as DDL events like dropIndexes.
- Returns:
A
AsyncCollectionChangeStream
cursor.- Return type:
AsyncCollectionChangeStream[_DocumentType]
Changed in version 4.3: Added show_expanded_events parameter.

The projection argument is used to specify a subset of fields that should be included in the result documents. By limiting results to a certain subset of fields you can cut down on network traffic and decoding time.
Raises
TypeError
if any of the arguments are of improper type. Returns an instance ofAsyncCursor
corresponding to this query.The
find()
method obeys theread_preference
of thisAsyncCollection
.- Parameters:
filter – A query document that selects which documents to include in the result set. Can be an empty document to include all documents.
projection – a list of field names that should be returned in the result set or a dict specifying the fields to include or exclude. If projection is a list “_id” will always be returned. Use a dict to exclude fields from the result (e.g. projection={‘_id’: False}).
session – a
AsyncClientSession
.skip – the number of documents to omit (from the start of the result set) when returning the results
limit – the maximum number of results to return. A limit of 0 (the default) is equivalent to setting no limit.
no_cursor_timeout – if False (the default), any returned cursor is closed by the server after 10 minutes of inactivity. If set to True, the returned cursor will never time out on the server. Care should be taken to ensure that cursors with no_cursor_timeout turned on are properly closed.
cursor_type –
the type of cursor to return. The valid options are defined by
CursorType
:NON_TAILABLE
- the result of this find call will return a standard cursor over the result set.TAILABLE
- the result of this find call will be a tailable cursor - tailable cursors are only for use with capped collections. They are not closed when the last data is retrieved but are kept open and the cursor location marks the final document position. If more data is received iteration of the cursor will continue from the last document received. For details, see the tailable cursor documentation.TAILABLE_AWAIT
- the result of this find call will be a tailable cursor with the await flag set. The server will wait for a few seconds after returning the full result set so that it can capture and return additional data added during the query.EXHAUST
- the result of this find call will be an exhaust cursor. MongoDB will stream batched results to the client without waiting for the client to request each batch, reducing latency. See notes on compatibility below.
sort – a list of (key, direction) pairs specifying the sort order for this query. See
sort()
for details.allow_partial_results – if True, mongos will return partial results if some shards are down instead of returning an error.
oplog_replay – DEPRECATED - if True, set the oplogReplay query flag. Default: False.
batch_size – Limits the number of documents returned in a single batch.
collation – An instance of
Collation
.return_key – If True, return only the index keys in each document.
show_record_id – If True, adds a field
$recordId
in each document with the storage engine’s internal record identifier.snapshot – DEPRECATED - If True, prevents the cursor from returning a document more than once because of an intervening write operation.
hint – An index, in the same format as passed to
create_index()
(e.g.[('field', ASCENDING)]
). Pass this as an alternative to callinghint()
on the cursor to tell Mongo the proper index to use for the query.max_time_ms – Specifies a time limit for a query operation. If the specified time is exceeded, the operation will be aborted and
ExecutionTimeout
is raised. Pass this as an alternative to callingmax_time_ms()
on the cursor.max_scan – DEPRECATED - The maximum number of documents to scan. Pass this as an alternative to calling
max_scan()
on the cursor.min – A list of field, limit pairs specifying the inclusive lower bound for all keys of a specific index in order. Pass this as an alternative to calling
min()
on the cursor.hint
must also be passed to ensure the query utilizes the correct index.max – A list of field, limit pairs specifying the exclusive upper bound for all keys of a specific index in order. Pass this as an alternative to calling
max()
on the cursor.hint
must also be passed to ensure the query utilizes the correct index.comment – A string to attach to the query to help interpret and trace the operation in the server logs and in profile data. Pass this as an alternative to calling
comment()
on the cursor.allow_disk_use – if True, MongoDB may use temporary disk files to store data exceeding the system memory limit while processing a blocking sort operation. The option has no effect if MongoDB can satisfy the specified sort using an index, or if the blocking sort requires less memory than the 100 MiB limit. This option is only supported on MongoDB 4.4 and above.
args (Any)
kwargs (Any)
- Return type:
AsyncCursor[_DocumentType]
Note
There are a number of caveats to using
EXHAUST
as cursor_type:The limit option can not be used with an exhaust cursor.
Exhaust cursors are not supported by mongos and can not be used with a sharded cluster.
A
AsyncCursor
instance created with theEXHAUST
cursor_type requires an exclusivesocket
connection to MongoDB. If theAsyncCursor
is discarded without being completely iterated the underlyingsocket
connection will be closed and discarded without being returned to the connection pool.
Changed in version 4.0: Removed the
modifiers
option. Empty projections (eg {} or []) are passed to the server as-is, rather than the previous behavior which substituted in a projection of{"_id": 1}
. This means that an empty projection will now return the entire document, not just the"_id"
field.Changed in version 3.11: Added the
allow_disk_use
option. Deprecated theoplog_replay
option. Support for this option is deprecated in MongoDB 4.4. The query engine now automatically optimizes queries against the oplog without requiring this option to be set.Changed in version 3.7: Deprecated the
snapshot
option, which is deprecated in MongoDB 3.6 and removed in MongoDB 4.0. Deprecated themax_scan
option. Support for this option is deprecated in MongoDB 4.0. Usemax_time_ms

- find_raw_batches(filter=None, projection=None, skip=0, limit=0, no_cursor_timeout=False, cursor_type=CursorType.NON_TAILABLE, sort=None, allow_partial_results=False, oplog_replay=False, batch_size=0, collation=None, hint=None, max_scan=None, max_time_ms=None, max=None, min=None, return_key=False, show_record_id=False, snapshot=False, comment=None, session=None, allow_disk_use=None)¶
Query the database and retrieve batches of raw BSON.
Similar to the
find()
method but returns aAsyncRawBatchCursor
.This example demonstrates how to work with raw batches, but in practice raw batches should be passed to an external library that can decode BSON into another data type, rather than used with PyMongo’s
bson
module.>>> import bson >>> cursor = db.test.find_raw_batches() >>> async for batch in cursor: ... print(bson.decode_all(batch))
Note
find_raw_batches does not support auto encryption.
Changed in version 3.12: Instead of ignoring the user-specified read concern, this method now sends it to the server when connected to MongoDB 3.6+.
Added session support.
Added in version 3.6.
- Parameters:
- Return type:
AsyncRawBatchCursor[_DocumentType]
- async find_one(filter=None, *args, **kwargs)¶
Get a single document from the database.
All arguments to
find()
are also valid arguments forfind_one()
, although any limit argument will be ignored. Returns a single document, orNone
if no matching document is found.The
find_one()
method obeys theread_preference
of thisAsyncCollection
.- Parameters:
filter (Any | None) – a dictionary specifying the query to be performed OR any other type to be used as the value for a query for
"_id"
.args (Any) – any additional positional arguments are the same as the arguments to
find()
.kwargs (Any) –
any additional keyword arguments are the same as the arguments to
find()

- async find_one_and_delete(filter, projection=None, sort=None, hint=None, session=None, let=None, comment=None, **kwargs)¶
Finds a single document and deletes it, returning the document.
>>> await db.test.count_documents({'x': 1}) 2 >>> await db.test.find_one_and_delete({'x': 1}) {'x': 1, '_id': ObjectId('54f4e12bfba5220aa4d6dee8')} >>> await db.test.count_documents({'x': 1}) 1
If multiple documents match filter, a sort can be applied.
>>> async for doc in db.test.find({'x': 1}): ... print(doc) ... {'x': 1, '_id': 0} {'x': 1, '_id': 1} {'x': 1, '_id': 2} >>> await db.test.find_one_and_delete( ... {'x': 1}, sort=[('_id', pymongo.DESCENDING)]) {'x': 1, '_id': 2}
The projection option can be used to limit the fields returned.
>>> await db.test.find_one_and_delete({'x': 1}, projection={'_id': False}) {'x': 1}
- Parameters:
filter (Mapping[str, Any]) – A query that matches the document to delete.
projection (Optional[Union[Mapping[str, Any], Iterable[str]]]) – a list of field names that should be returned in the result document or a mapping specifying the fields to include or exclude. If projection is a list “_id” will always be returned. Use a mapping to exclude fields from the result (e.g. projection={‘_id’: False}).
sort (Optional[_IndexList]) – a list of (key, direction) pairs specifying the sort order for the query. If multiple documents match the query, they are sorted and the first is deleted.
hint (Optional[_IndexKeyHint]) – An index to use to support the query predicate specified either by its string name, or in the same format as passed to
create_index()
(e.g.[('field', ASCENDING)]
). This option is only supported on MongoDB 4.4 and above.session (Optional[AsyncClientSession]) – a
AsyncClientSession

when connected to MongoDB >= 3.2. Note that using an elevated write concern with this command may be slower compared to using the default write concern.Changed in version 3.4: Added the collation option.
Added in version 3.0.
- async find_one_and_replace(filter, replacement, projection=None, sort=None, return_document=ReturnDocument.BEFORE, hint=None, session=None, **kwargs)¶
Finds a single document and replaces it, returning either the original or the replaced document.
The
find_one_and_replace()
method differs fromfind_one_and_update()
by replacing the document matched by filter, rather than modifying the existing document.>>> async for doc in db.test.find({}): ... print(doc) ... {'x': 1, '_id': 0} {'x': 1, '_id': 1} {'x': 1, '_id': 2} >>> await db.test.find_one_and_replace({'x': 1}, {'y': 1}) {'x': 1, '_id': 0} >>> async for doc in db.test.find({}): ... print(doc) ... {'y': 1, '_id': 0} {'x': 1, '_id': 1} {'x': 1, '_id': 2}
- Parameters:
filter (Mapping[str, Any]) – A query that matches the document to replace.
replacement (Mapping[str, Any]) – The replacement document.
projection (Optional[Union[Mapping[str, Any], Iterable[str]]]) – A list of field names that should be returned in the result document or a mapping specifying the fields to include or exclude. If projection is a list “_id” will always be returned. Use a mapping to exclude fields from the result (e.g. projection={‘_id’: False}).
sort (Optional[_IndexList]) – a list of (key, direction) pairs specifying the sort order for the query. If multiple documents match the query, they are sorted and the first is replaced.
upsert (bool) – When
True
, inserts a new document if no document matches the query. Defaults toFalse
.return_document (bool) – If
ReturnDocument.BEFORE
(the default), returns the original document before it was replaced, orNone
if no document matches. IfReturnDocument.AFTER
, returns the replaced or inserted document.hint (Optional[_IndexKeyHint]) – An index to use to support the query predicate specified either by its string name, or in the same format as passed to
create_index()
(e.g.[('field', ASCENDING)]
). This option is only supported on MongoDB 4.4 and above.session (Optional[AsyncClientSession]) – a
AsyncClientSession
.let (Optional[Mapping[str, Any]]) – Map of parameter names and values. Values must be constant or closed expressions that do not reference document fields. Parameters can then be accessed as variables in an aggregate expression context (e.g. “$$var”).
comment (Optional[Any]) – A user-provided comment to attach to this command.
kwargs (Any) – additional command arguments can be passed as keyword arguments (for example maxTimeMS can be used with recent server versions).

- async find_one_and_update(filter, update, projection=None, sort=None, return_document=ReturnDocument.BEFORE, array_filters=None, hint=None, session=None, **kwargs)¶
Finds a single document and updates it, returning either the original or the updated document.
>>> await db.test.find_one_and_update( ... {'_id': 665}, {'$inc': {'count': 1}, '$set': {'done': True}}) {'_id': 665, 'done': False, 'count': 25}}
Returns
None
if no document matches the filter.>>> await db.test.find_one_and_update( ... {'_exists': False}, {'$inc': {'count': 1}})
When the filter matches, by default
find_one_and_update()
returns the original version of the document before the update was applied. To return the updated (or inserted in the case of upsert) version of the document instead, use the return_document option.>>> from pymongo import ReturnDocument >>> await db.example.find_one_and_update( ... {'_id': 'userid'}, ... {'$inc': {'seq': 1}}, ... return_document=ReturnDocument.AFTER) {'_id': 'userid', 'seq': 1}
You can limit the fields returned with the projection option.
>>> await db.example.find_one_and_update( ... {'_id': 'userid'}, ... {'$inc': {'seq': 1}}, ... projection={'seq': True, '_id': False}, ... return_document=ReturnDocument.AFTER) {'seq': 2}
The upsert option can be used to create the document if it doesn’t already exist.
>>> (await db.example.delete_many({})).deleted_count 1 >>> await db.example.find_one_and_update( ... {'_id': 'userid'}, ... {'$inc': {'seq': 1}}, ... projection={'seq': True, '_id': False}, ... upsert=True, ... return_document=ReturnDocument.AFTER) {'seq': 1}
If multiple documents match filter, a sort can be applied.
>>> async for doc in db.test.find({'done': True}): ... print(doc) ... {'_id': 665, 'done': True, 'result': {'count': 26}} {'_id': 701, 'done': True, 'result': {'count': 17}} >>> await db.test.find_one_and_update( ... {'done': True}, ... {'$set': {'final': True}}, ... sort=[('_id', pymongo.DESCENDING)]) {'_id': 701, 'done': True, 'result': {'count': 17}}

Note
For a fast count of the total documents in a collection see
estimated_document_count()
.The
count_documents()
method is supported in a transaction.All optional parameters should be passed as keyword arguments to this method. Valid options include:
skip (int): The number of matching documents to skip before returning results.
limit (int): The maximum number of documents to count. Must be a positive integer. If not provided, no limit is imposed.
maxTimeMS (int): The maximum amount of time to allow this operation to run, in milliseconds.
collation (optional): An instance of
Collation
.hint (string or list of tuples): The index to use. Specify either the index name as a string or the index specification as a list of tuples (e.g. [(‘a’, pymongo.ASCENDING), (‘b’, pymongo.ASCENDING)]).
The
count_documents()
method obeys theread_preference

- async create_index(keys, session=None, comment=None, **kwargs)¶
Creates an index on this collection.
Takes either a single key or a list containing (key, direction) pairs or keys. If no direction is given,
ASCENDING
will be assumed. The key(s) must be an instance ofstr
and the direction(s) must be one of (ASCENDING
,DESCENDING
,GEO2D
,GEOSPHERE
,HASHED
,TEXT
).To create a single key ascending index on the key
'mike'
we just use a string argument:>>> await my_collection.create_index("mike")
For a compound index on
'mike'
descending and'eliot'
ascending we need to use a list of tuples:>>> await my_collection.create_index([("mike", pymongo.DESCENDING), ... "eliot"])
All optional index creation parameters should be passed as keyword arguments to this method. For example:
>>> await my_collection.create_index([("mike", pymongo.DESCENDING)], ... background=True)
Valid options include, but are not limited to:
name: custom name to use for this index - if none is given, a name will be generated.
unique: if
True
, creates a uniqueness constraint on the index.background: if

min: minimum value for keys in a
GEO2D
index.max: maximum value for keys in a
GEO2D
index.expireAfterSeconds: <int> Used to create an expiring (TTL) collection. MongoDB will automatically delete documents from this collection after <int> seconds. The indexed field must be a UTC datetime or the data will not expire.
partialFilterExpression: A document that specifies a filter for a partial index.
collation (optional): An instance of
Collation
.wildcardProjection: Allows users to include or exclude specific field paths from a wildcard index using the {“$**” : 1} key pattern. Requires MongoDB >= 4.2.
hidden: if
True
, this index will be hidden from the query planner and will not be evaluated as part of query plan selection. Requires MongoDB >= 4.4.
See the MongoDB documentation for a full list of supported options by server version.
Warning
dropDups is not supported by MongoDB 3.0 or newer. The option is silently ignored by the server and unique index builds using the option will fail if a duplicate value is detected.
