I need to use MongoDB as an external database--I figure I'll access mLab or MongoDB Atlas with CloudScript. But PlayFab's documentation and example code in most departments is extremely lacking. Does anyone have a quick example of how to access mLab's REST API via CloudScript?
I've made a few attempts myself, by looking at conventional JavaScript examples to no avail. I'm especially looking at how to pass the authentication header parameters to the REST API.
The makeHTTPRequest handler in the basic Cloud Script that is loaded as revision 1 on all new titles is the main thing I'd point to - it shows making an external Web API call to a third party.
@Brendan I'm specifically looking how to call this API with your makeHTTPRequest handler:
https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/api/#http-methods
I'm having trouble trying to create the proper authentication info in the header. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
mLab seems much more straightforward as you just put your API key on the end of all requests.
