App Inventor - MongoDBTM interface


App Inventor - MongoDBTM interface

Note: the RESTful API of MongoHQ unfortunately is not available anymore!

What is MongoDBTM?

MongoDB (from "humongous") is an open-source document database, and the leading NoSQL database.

What is MongoHQ?

MongoHQ is a platform for MongoDB hosting on the web.

This App Inventor example project uses the MongoHQ API
The MongoHQ REST API allows you to create and interact with MongoDB databases created on the MongoHQ platform with an easy to use JSON API over HTTPS. Thank you Henk for being the sponsor of this tutorial!

You probably also might be interested in the App Inventor - CouchDB and App Inventor - Amazon SimpleDB interfaces.

Getting started

To start using the MongoHQ REST API, you will need to do the following:

  1. Sign up for an account at MongoHQ.com.
  2. Once logged in, click on the My Account drop-down menu at the top-right, and select 'Account Settings'.
  3. Look for the section labeled API Token. From there, grab your token.
  4. Then in App Inventor put your token in global variable strApiKey.
