How to search document by oid in mongoengine

Question

I need get documents from db by oid, like:

Docs.objects(_id=\'4f4381f4e779897a2c000009\')

But how to do it, if _id requires ObjectId object and

Answer 1

Came to this question because I had a lot of trouble with this myself. It seems like PyMongo changed this and objectid is no longer inside pymongo and is now instead:

import bson
Doc.objects.get(id=bson.objectid.ObjectId('4f4381f4e779897a2c000009'))

Also, Mongoengine uses the name 'id' for the ObjectID field.

Answer 2

How about just using the raw string:

Docs.objects.get(id='4f4381f4e779897a2c000009')

That is probably the easiest way ... right ?

Answer 3

This should work:

Docs.objects(pk='4f4381f4e779897a2c000009')
