cursor – Tools for iterating over MongoDB query results

`cursor` – Tools for iterating over MongoDB query results

Cursor class to iterate over Mongo query results.

class pymongo.cursor.CursorType

NON_TAILABLE

The standard cursor type.
TAILABLE

The tailable cursor type.

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.
TAILABLE_AWAIT

A tailable cursor with the await option set.

Creates a tailable cursor that 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

An exhaust cursor.

MongoDB will stream batched results to the client without waiting for the client to request each batch, reducing latency.

class pymongo.cursor.Cursor(collection, 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, modifiers=None, batch_size=0, manipulate=True, 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)

Create a new cursor.

Should not be called directly by application developers - see find() instead.

See also

The MongoDB documentation on cursors.

c[index]

See __getitem__() and read the warning.
__getitem__(index)

Get a single document or a slice of documents from this cursor.

Warning

A Cursor is not a Python list. Each index access or slice requires that a new query be run using skip and limit. Do not iterate the cursor using index accesses. The following example is extremely inefficient and may return surprising results:
```
cursor = db.collection.find()
# Warning: This runs a new query for each document.
# Don't do this!
for idx in range(10):
    print(cursor[idx])
```
Raises InvalidOperation if this cursor has already been used.

To get a single document use an integral index, e.g.:
```
>>> db.test.find()[50]
```
An IndexError will be raised if the index is negative or greater than the amount of documents in this cursor. Any limit previously applied to this cursor will be ignored.

To get a slice of documents use a slice index, e.g.:
```
>>> db.test.find()[20:25]
```
This will return this cursor with a limit of 5 and skip of 20 applied. Using a slice index will override any prior limits or skips applied to this cursor (including those applied through previous calls to this method). Raises IndexError when the slice has a step, a negative start value, or a stop value less than or equal to the start value.
- Parameters
  - index: An integer or slice index to be applied to this cursor
add_option(mask)

Set arbitrary query flags using a bitmask.

To set the tailable flag: cursor.add_option(2)
property address

The (host, port) of the server used, or None.

Changed in version 3.0: Renamed from “conn_id”.
property alive

Does this cursor have the potential to return more data?

This is mostly useful with tailable cursors since they will stop iterating even though they may return more results in the future.

With regular cursors, simply use a for loop instead of alive:
```
for doc in collection.find():
    print(doc)
```
Note

Even if alive is True, next() can raise StopIteration. alive can also be True while iterating a cursor from a failed server. In this case alive will return False after next() fails to retrieve the next batch of results from the server.
allow_disk_use(allow_disk_use)

Specifies whether MongoDB can use temporary disk files while processing a blocking sort operation.

Raises TypeError if allow_disk_use is not a boolean.

Note

allow_disk_use requires server version >= 4.4
- Parameters
  - 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.
New in version 3.11.
batch_size(batch_size)

Limits the number of documents returned in one batch. Each batch requires a round trip to the server. It can be adjusted to optimize performance and limit data transfer.

Note

batch_size can not override MongoDB’s internal limits on the amount of data it will return to the client in a single batch (i.e if you set batch size to 1,000,000,000, MongoDB will currently only return 4-16MB of results per batch).

Raises TypeError if batch_size is not an integer. Raises ValueError if batch_size is less than 0. Raises InvalidOperation if this Cursor has already been used. The last batch_size applied to this cursor takes precedence.
- Parameters
  - batch_size: The size of each batch of results requested.
clone()

Get a clone of this cursor.

Returns a new Cursor instance with options matching those that have been set on the current instance. The clone will be completely unevaluated, even if the current instance has been partially or completely evaluated.
close()

Explicitly close / kill this cursor.
collation(collation)

Adds a Collation to this query.

This option is only supported on MongoDB 3.4 and above.

Raises TypeError if collation is not an instance of Collation or a dict. Raises InvalidOperation if this Cursor has already been used. Only the last collation applied to this cursor has any effect.
- Parameters
  - collation: An instance of Collation.
property collection

The Collection that this Cursor is iterating.
comment(comment)

Adds a ‘comment’ to the cursor.

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/comment/
- Parameters
  - comment: A string to attach to the query to help interpret and trace the operation in the server logs and in profile data.
New in version 2.7.
count(with_limit_and_skip=False)

DEPRECATED - Get the size of the results set for this query.

The count() method is deprecated and not supported in a transaction. Please use count_documents() instead.

Returns the number of documents in the results set for this query. Does not take limit() and skip() into account by default - set with_limit_and_skip to True if that is the desired behavior. Raises OperationFailure on a database error.

When used with MongoDB >= 2.6, count() uses any hint() applied to the query. In the following example the hint is passed to the count command:

collection.find({‘field’: ‘value’}).hint(‘field_1’).count()

The count() method obeys the read_preference of the Collection instance on which find() was called.
- Parameters
  - with_limit_and_skip (optional): take any limit() or skip() that has been applied to this cursor into account when getting the count
Note

The with_limit_and_skip parameter requires server version >= 1.1.4-

Changed in version 3.7: Deprecated.

Changed in version 2.8: The count() method now supports hint().
property cursor_id

Returns the id of the cursor

Useful if you need to manage cursor ids and want to handle killing cursors manually using kill_cursors()

New in version 2.2.
distinct(key)

Get a list of distinct values for key among all documents in the result set of this query.

Raises TypeError if key is not an instance of basestring (str in python 3).

The distinct() method obeys the read_preference of the Collection instance on which find() was called.
- Parameters
  - key: name of key for which we want to get the distinct values
See also

pymongo.collection.Collection.distinct()
explain()

Returns an explain plan record for this cursor.

Note

Starting with MongoDB 3.2 explain() uses the default verbosity mode of the explain command, allPlansExecution. To use a different verbosity use command() to run the explain command directly.

See also

The MongoDB documentation on explain.
hint(index)

Adds a ‘hint’, telling Mongo the proper index to use for the query.

Judicious use of hints can greatly improve query performance. When doing a query on multiple fields (at least one of which is indexed) pass the indexed field as a hint to the query. Raises OperationFailure if the provided hint requires an index that does not exist on this collection, and raises InvalidOperation if this cursor has already been used.

index should be an index as passed to create_index() (e.g. [('field', ASCENDING)]) or the name of the index. If index is None any existing hint for this query is cleared. The last hint applied to this cursor takes precedence over all others.
- Parameters
  - index: index to hint on (as an index specifier)
Changed in version 2.8: The hint() method accepts the name of the index.
limit(limit)

Limits the number of results to be returned by this cursor.

Raises TypeError if limit is not an integer. Raises InvalidOperation if this Cursor has already been used. The last limit applied to this cursor takes precedence. A limit of 0 is equivalent to no limit.
- Parameters
  - limit: the number of results to return
See also

The MongoDB documentation on limit.
max(spec)

Adds max operator that specifies upper bound for specific index.

When using max, hint() should also be configured to ensure the query uses the expected index and starting in MongoDB 4.2 hint() will be required.
- Parameters
  - spec: a list of field, limit pairs specifying the exclusive upper bound for all keys of a specific index in order.
Changed in version 3.8: Deprecated cursors that use max without a hint().

New in version 2.7.
max_await_time_ms(max_await_time_ms)

Specifies a time limit for a getMore operation on a TAILABLE_AWAIT cursor. For all other types of cursor max_await_time_ms is ignored.

Raises TypeError if max_await_time_ms is not an integer or None. Raises InvalidOperation if this Cursor has already been used.

Note

max_await_time_ms requires server version >= 3.2
- Parameters
  - max_await_time_ms: the time limit after which the operation is aborted
New in version 3.2.
max_scan(max_scan)

DEPRECATED - Limit the number of documents to scan when performing the query.

Raises InvalidOperation if this cursor has already been used. Only the last max_scan() applied to this cursor has any effect.
- Parameters
  - max_scan: the maximum number of documents to scan
Changed in version 3.7: Deprecated max_scan(). Support for this option is deprecated in MongoDB 4.0. Use max_time_ms() instead to limit server side execution time.
max_time_ms(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. If max_time_ms is None no limit is applied.

Raises TypeError if max_time_ms is not an integer or None. Raises InvalidOperation if this Cursor has already been used.
- Parameters
  - max_time_ms: the time limit after which the operation is aborted
min(spec)

Adds min operator that specifies lower bound for specific index.

When using min, hint() should also be configured to ensure the query uses the expected index and starting in MongoDB 4.2 hint() will be required.
- Parameters
  - spec: a list of field, limit pairs specifying the inclusive lower bound for all keys of a specific index in order.
Changed in version 3.8: Deprecated cursors that use min without a hint().

New in version 2.7.
next()

Advance the cursor.
remove_option(mask)

Unset arbitrary query flags using a bitmask.

To unset the tailable flag: cursor.remove_option(2)
property retrieved

The number of documents retrieved so far.
rewind()

Rewind this cursor to its unevaluated state.

Reset this cursor if it has been partially or completely evaluated. Any options that are present on the cursor will remain in effect. Future iterating performed on this cursor will cause new queries to be sent to the server, even if the resultant data has already been retrieved by this cursor.
property session

The cursor’s ClientSession, or None.

New in version 3.6.
skip(skip)

Skips the first skip results of this cursor.

Raises TypeError if skip is not an integer. Raises ValueError if skip is less than 0. Raises InvalidOperation if this Cursor has already been used. The last skip applied to this cursor takes precedence.
- Parameters
  - skip: the number of results to skip
sort(key_or_list, direction=None)

Sorts this cursor’s results.

Pass a field name and a direction, either ASCENDING or DESCENDING:
```
for doc in collection.find().sort('field', pymongo.ASCENDING):
    print(doc)
```
To sort by multiple fields, pass a list of (key, direction) pairs:
```
for doc in collection.find().sort([
        ('field1', pymongo.ASCENDING),
        ('field2', pymongo.DESCENDING)]):
    print(doc)
```
Beginning with MongoDB version 2.6, text search results can be sorted by relevance:
```
cursor = db.test.find(
    {'$text': {'$search': 'some words'}},
    {'score': {'$meta': 'textScore'}})
# Sort by 'score' field.
cursor.sort([('score', {'$meta': 'textScore'})])
for doc in cursor:
    print(doc)
```
For more advanced text search functionality, see MongoDB’s Atlas Search.

Raises InvalidOperation if this cursor has already been used. Only the last sort() applied to this cursor has any effect.
- Parameters
  - key_or_list: a single key or a list of (key, direction) pairs specifying the keys to sort on
  - direction (optional): only used if key_or_list is a single key, if not given ASCENDING is assumed
where(code)

Adds a $where clause to this query.

The code argument must be an instance of basestring (str in python 3) or Code containing a JavaScript expression. This expression will be evaluated for each document scanned. Only those documents for which the expression evaluates to true will be returned as results. The keyword this refers to the object currently being scanned. For example:
```
# Find all documents where field "a" is less than "b" plus "c".
for doc in db.test.find().where('this.a < (this.b + this.c)'):
    print(doc)
```
Raises TypeError if code is not an instance of basestring (str in python 3). Raises InvalidOperation if this Cursor has already been used. Only the last call to where() applied to a Cursor has any effect.

Note

MongoDB 4.4 drops support for Code with scope variables. Consider using $expr instead.
- Parameters
  - code: JavaScript expression to use as a filter

class pymongo.cursor.RawBatchCursor(collection, 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, modifiers=None, 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, allow_disk_use=None)

Create a new cursor / iterator over raw batches of BSON data.

Should not be called directly by application developers - see find_raw_batches() instead.
