You can retrieve an online archive using its ID. You can also view an online archive from the Atlas UI. You must have GROUP_READ_ONLY (Project Read Only) role to retrieve an online archive.

The Atlas Administration API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request. To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Configure Atlas Administration API Access.

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

Syntax¶

GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/onlineArchives/{ARCHIVE-ID}

Request Parameters¶

Request Path Parameters¶

Path Element	Necessity	Description
`GROUP-ID`	Required	Unique identifier of the project that contains the specified cluster.
`CLUSTER-NAME`	Required	Name of the cluster that contains the collection.
`ARCHIVE-ID`	Required	Unique identifier of the online archive to retrieve.

Request Query Parameters¶

This endpoint might use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. All of these are optional.

Name

Type

Necessity

Description

Default

pretty

boolean

Optional

Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.

false

envelope

boolean

Optional

Flag indicating if Atlas should wrap the response in a JSON envelope.

This option may be needed for some API clients. These clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:


status	HTTP response code
envelope	Expected response body

false

Response Elements¶

Name

Type

Description

id

string

ID of the online archive.

clusterName

string

Name of the cluster that contains the collection.

collName

string

Name of the collection.

criteria

document

Criteria to use for archiving data.

criteria.type

string

Type of criteria. Value can be one of the following:

DATE - to select documents for archiving based on a date.
CUSTOM - to select documents for archiving based on a custom JSON query.

criteria.dateField

string

If criteria.type is DATE, name of the date field that the online archive is based on. Data is archived when the current date is after the date specified here plus the number of days specified via the expireAfterDays parameter.

criteria.dateFormat

enum

If criteria.type is DATE, the date format. Value can be one of the following:

ISODATE - ISO-8601 format date (default)
EPOCH_SECONDS - Unix timestamp in seconds
EPOCH_MILLIS - Unix timestamp in milliseconds
EPOCH_NANOSECONDS - Unix timestamp in nanoseconds

criteria.expireAfterDays

int

If criteria.type is DATE, number of days that specifies the age limit for the data in the live Atlas cluster. Data is archived when the current date is greater than the value of the date field specified via the dateField parameter plus the number of days specified here.

criteria.query

int

If criteria.type is CUSTOM, JSON query used to select documents for archiving. The specified query is used with the db.collection.find(query) command.

dbName

string

Name of the database that contains the collection.

groupId

string

Unique identifier of the project that contains the cluster.

partitionFields

document array

Fields to use to partition data.

partitionFields.fieldName

string

Name of the field.

partitionFields.fieldType

string

Data type of the field.

partitionFields.order

int

Position of the field in the partition. Value can be:

0 - for the first position
1 - for the second position
2 - for the third position

paused

boolean

State of the online archive. Value is:

true if the online archive is in paused state.
false if the online archive is in pending or active state.

state

string

Status of the online archive. Valid values are:


Pending	Indicates documents are queued for archive, but archiving has not yet started.
Archiving	Indicates archiving has started. In this state, the documents that meet the criteria for archiving are being archived.
Idle	Indicates online archive is waiting for the next archival job to start.
Pausing	Indicates that you have requested to pause archiving. In this state, Atlas is finishing the running archiving operation and therefore, Atlas has not yet put archiving on hold. The online archive transitions to the `Paused` state when the running archiving operation finishes.
Paused	Indicates archiving has been temporarily stopped. In this state, previously archived documents continue to be available on the cloud object storage for querying, but the specified archiving operation on the active cluster is put on hold and additional documents are not archived. You can resume archiving for paused archives at any time.
Orphaned	Indicates collection associated with an active or paused online archive was deleted. Atlas will not automatically delete the archived data. You must manually delete the online archives associated with the deleted collection.
Deleted	Indicates online archive was deleted. When you delete an online archive, associated archived documents are removed from the cloud object storage.

Example¶

The following example request retrieves an online archive by its ID. The example response contains the online archive with the ID 5ebad3c1fe9c0ab8d37d61e1 for the people.employees collection in the cluster named myTestClstr.
