Introducing the MongoDB Data API

The MongoDB Data API lets you read and modify data in MongoDB Atlas over HTTP. You don't need any additional MongoDB drivers, libraries, or connection strings; just a standard HTTP client and a valid API key.
The Data API's endpoints expose actions that are similar to the standard query methods available in MongoDB drivers. You can call them to create, read, update, delete, or aggregate documents in your cluster.
The Data API was covered in Episode 92 of the MongoDB Podcast with Sumedha Mehta, Product Manager at MongoDB. mongodb.libsyn.com/ep-92-intr...
Documentation: docs.atlas.mongodb.com/api/da...

Interesting, would like to see two apps, ReactJS and SwiftUI and view their transactions from the api like Realm Studio, thank you, James

[@rickyu1978]

Thanks, would you advise against using this on the client side? What is the main advantage of the data api vs the sdk?
Realm has the advantage as you can use Realm-web on the client side to query your database securely, in this case you would not need the server, am I right?
I thought the data-api would be for the client side as well (similar o realm-web)

Can I use this with Mongo compass? I want to use this for webhook

Having $numberInt, $numberLong etc in json is not very convenient. Wish it would take plain json without mongo specific $** tags and insert data types properly.
