I have a nodejs server setup on AWS with mongoDB. I want to access the database contents using GET method. There is another application in python which needs to access this database present on AWS. I searched on the internet and came across PycURL but I am not getting how to use it exactly. How to approach with pycURL or what can be an alternate solution?

You can build your restful API that is going to handle those GET requests. You have awesome tutorial (with example that you want on bottom):

https://scotch.io/tutorials/build-a-restful-api-using-node-and-express-4

Edit: If you want phyton code for GET requests there is awesome answer here: Simple URL GET/POST function in Python

Edit 2: Example of how would this work. You first need to code your API how to handle GET request and on what route (example: http://localhost:5000/api/getUsers). Than you want to make GET request to that route using Phyton: Example:

r = requests.get(url="http://localhost:5000/api/getUsers")

I had a similar problem a while ago, there is a tutorial here here. It can lead you towards your intended direction, the drawback may be that in the tutorial, to issue the http request (if I remember correctly), they used postman but I'm sure you can still use PyCurl.
