News API to MongoDB Integration

How Datrise loads News API into MongoDB

Datrise syncs News API's articles, sources, headlines, publication dates, categories, and search queries into MongoDB as a collection per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in native nested documents, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as BSON Date.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses upserts by stable id with updateOne(upsert) on the source primary key, so re-runs update only what changed. Optional sharding on the entity id for large collections. Mongo has no fixed schema, so Datrise keeps field types consistent across documents to avoid mixed-type query surprises.

Ideal for document-oriented apps that want CRM data in their existing Mongo store.

Endpoints

News API: Aggregated news headlines across publishers.

MongoDB: Document database for flexible schemas.

How News API entities map to MongoDB

News API entity	MongoDB object	Notes
articles	`news_api_articles`	id PK · custom fields → native nested documents
sources	`news_api_sources`	id PK · linked to news_api_articles
headlines	`news_api_headlines`	id PK · linked to news_api_articles
publication dates	`news_api_publication_dates`	id PK · linked to news_api_articles

FAQ

How does Datrise handle News API's custom fields in MongoDB?

Flexible values are stored as native nested documents, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native MongoDB types.

How does the News API to MongoDB sync stay up to date?

It runs incrementally — Datrise uses upserts by stable id with updateOne(upsert) on the source primary key.
