Pymongo: iterate over all documents in the collection

Question

I am using PyMongo and trying to iterate over (10 millions) documents in my MongoDB collection and just extract a couple of keys: \"name\" and \"address\", then output them to .

Answer 1

I had no luck with .find().forEach() either, but this should find what you are searching for and then print it.

First find all documents that match what you are searching for

cursors = db.myCollection.find({"name": {$regex: REGEX}})

then iterate it over the matches

for cursor in cursors
    print(cursor.get("name"))
