I have MongoDB installed on my machine, a database, a collection in the database, and a document in the collection. I have a mongodb instance running from running the mongosh command in my terminal. After running mongosh I get 'Connecting to:' a URL. When I place that URL in Postman(Thunder-Client) and send a GETrequest the response is "It looks like you are trying to access MongoDB over HTTP on the native driver port." along with a Status: 200 OK. I want the response to return the document that exists in that database's collection that I'm connected to. I've tried running mongod --httpinterface after some researching but that was to no avail. I want to do this without using Atlas.

Here's a snapshot of what I'm looking at in Postman(Thunder-Client). It shows the URL that mongosh returned and the connection to the database along with the document I'm trying to retrieve with the call in the left hand column. enter image description here

  • A MongoDB is not a Webserver as the error message indicates. You need to write some Server scripts (e.g. in Javascript) to communicate with the MongoDB – Wernfried Domscheit Nov 22 '22 at 19:23
