Invalid URI scheme: mongodb+srv

Hi,

I am trying to connect my python application. Every time I am getting Invalid URI scheme: mongodb+srv error while trying to connect with mongo Atlas.

Please help me where i m doing wrong.

Hello @Alok_verma

From The Fine Manual:

Does your look like this ?

import pymongo
import dns # required for connecting with SRV

client = pymongo.MongoClient("mongodb+srv://kay:myRealPassword@cluster0.mongodb.net/test?w=majority")
db = client.test

Please provide the following information so that we can troubleshoot the issue:

  • Full error traceback
  • PyMongo and dnspython version installed
  • MongoDB URI you are using with the username/password removed.

Hi @Alok_verma and welcome to the forums!

Unfortunately I’m unable to reproduce the error that you’re encountering. Are you able to reproduce the error consistently ? Are you able to connect from the same machine to the Atlas cluster using mongo shell ?

Could you also provide the following information :

  • The version of MongoDB Python driver that you’re using
  • The full stack trace of the error

Regards,
Wan.

request your help, also want to understand how do we connect through pymongo using certificate provided by atlas

You might be missing a package. Last python project I was using dnspython==1.15.0 with Anaconda Since pymongo was 3.7.0, you might need to use a more recent dnspython.
