MongoDB CRUD Operations in Python
Learn how to perform basic CRUD operations with the MongoDB Python driver.
MongoDB CRUD Operations in Python
Unit Overview
In this unit, you'll learn how to perform CRUD operations by using Python. First, you'll learn how BSON documents are represented in Python. Next, you'll learn how to insert, query and retrieve, update, and delete documents in a Python application. Finally, you'll learn how to create a multi-document transaction.

Hi there and welcome! In this unit, you’ll learn how to perform basic CRUD operations with your Python applications.
CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete.
I’m Julianna. I’m a Curriculum Engineer here at MongoDB, and I’ll be working with you through this unit.
Using CRUD, you’ll be able to interact with your data from your Python application. After all, a database is only useful if you can leverage the data.
In this unit, we’ll also cover how to create a multi-document transaction in Python so that you can ensure your operations are ACID compliant.
The lessons in this unit consist of short video lectures followed by quiz questions and labs so that you can practice what you learned.
First, you’ll learn how BSON documents are represented in Python.
Then, you’ll learn how to insert documents into your MongoDB database from a Python application.
You’ll also learn how to query and retrieve documents from a collection.
Next, you’ll learn how to update documents, both one at a time and in batches.
Then you’ll learn how to delete single or multiple documents.
Finally, you’ll learn how to create a multi-document transaction by using the callback API.
Before you begin this unit, you should have a basic understanding of: Python, the MongoDB database and document model, and Atlas.
You’ll also need to set up an Atlas account with a free tier cluster.
By the end of this unit, you will be able to describe how BSON documents are represented in Python, perform basic CRUD operations in Python, and create multi-document transactions.
Let’s get started!
