mongodb - Is there a simple way to export the data from a meteor deployed app?

Question

Is there a simple way to export the data from a meteor deployed app?

So, for example, if I had deployed an app named test.meteor.com...

How could I easily download the data that has been collected by that app - so that I could run it locally with data from the deployed app?

Answer 1

To get the URL for your deployed site at meteor.com use the command (you may need to provide your site password if you password protected it):

meteor mongo --url YOURSITE.meteor.com

Which will return something like :

mongodb://client:PASSWORD@sky.member1.mongolayer.com:27017/YOURSITE_meteor_com

Which you can give to a program like mongodump

mongodump -u client -h sky.member1.mongolayer.com:27017 -d YOURSITE_meteor_com
          -p PASSWORD

The password is only good for one minute. For usage:

$ meteor --help mongo
