Python MongoDB Limit

Python PyMongo MongoDB database driver provides a method limit() to limit the result set. The limit() method takes one single parameter that should be an integer, and that number represents how many documents you want to return.

Example: Python MongoDB Limit

import pymongo
client = pymongo.MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/")

# database
database = client["programmingfundadb"]

# collection
collection = database["employees"]

# access only three documents
result = collection.find().limit(3)

# access all the documents
for i in result:
    print(i)

Output

{'_id': 1, 'name': 'Vishvajit', 'Occupation': 'Software Enginner', 'age': 30}
{'_id': 2, 'name': 'Peter', 'Occupation': 'DBA', 'age': 33}
{'_id': 3, 'name': 'Jarsi', 'Occupation': 'Machine Learning Enginner', 'age': 30}
