WEBVTT 00:00.930 --> 00:01.890 Okay, everyone. 00:01.890 --> 00:08.400 So now we got our really simple, basic Reddit Reddit scraper up and running, and now we need to look 00:08.400 --> 00:15.030 into how to actually save the data to our database or MongoDB database specifically. 00:15.300 --> 00:24.090 So the provider that we're going to use to get our MongoDB server hosting, we'll use M-lab. 00:24.120 --> 00:31.560 You could also just host your own MongoDB server on your machine local machine or use another third 00:31.560 --> 00:33.960 party MongoDB hosting. 00:33.990 --> 00:41.130 The nice thing about M-lab is that it's free for smaller databases up to 500MB, which actually can 00:41.130 --> 00:42.720 last you a pretty long time. 00:42.990 --> 00:50.760 But it's fine for a small prototyping and development projects and so it's free to sign up, free to 00:50.760 --> 00:51.330 use. 00:51.330 --> 00:55.590 You can go in there and you can make a database. 00:56.670 --> 01:03.370 So after you made an account, you just go in and create a new database. 01:03.370 --> 01:07.600 So let's see, I already made one here called Reddit Data. 01:09.060 --> 01:15.660 So I will just delete this one and show you guys how we go through creating the database in in lab. 01:15.680 --> 01:16.470 In lab. 01:18.450 --> 01:19.830 So let me just. 01:20.620 --> 01:23.170 Enlarge the text a bit here. 01:23.320 --> 01:26.440 So go ahead and say create new. 01:27.440 --> 01:32.240 Inside of this lab home page and we say create new. 01:36.210 --> 01:42.180 Then, Well, it's up to you if you want to use Google Azure, whatever. 01:42.180 --> 01:50.340 I just use Amazon and Select Sandbox, which is the free one, and then select the region that's closest 01:50.340 --> 01:52.800 to me after I click Continue. 01:54.290 --> 01:57.570 And I select Europe because that's the closest one to me. 01:59.300 --> 02:01.880 And then we give the database a name. 02:01.880 --> 02:04.820 So I'll call it Reddit scraper. 02:05.970 --> 02:07.050 And. 02:08.010 --> 02:11.970 Then we just submit the order which is free. 02:18.950 --> 02:19.910 And. 02:20.810 --> 02:25.760 Now this is up a no, it's not up and running yet. 02:25.760 --> 02:29.570 They're still deploying the database, but it's really fast. 02:29.570 --> 02:31.010 You can see it's up now. 02:31.550 --> 02:34.400 So we go ahead, click on the database. 02:35.430 --> 02:36.420 And. 02:37.260 --> 02:40.710 Then we need to create a user for the database. 02:40.710 --> 02:51.030 So we go into users, say add database user, and we just call it Reddit user. 02:51.880 --> 02:55.840 And password will just create a. 02:56.860 --> 02:58.630 Random secure password. 02:58.930 --> 03:04.290 I'm just using LastPass, but feel free to make up your own password. 03:04.300 --> 03:05.230 Of course. 03:06.310 --> 03:07.690 Just copy that in. 03:12.440 --> 03:16.130 So now we have created a user for the database. 03:17.630 --> 03:19.100 We see the user here. 03:20.330 --> 03:23.930 And that was just my last pass coming up. 03:24.680 --> 03:29.150 And I will just save the password in here. 03:29.420 --> 03:30.980 That's my password. 03:31.130 --> 03:35.060 And there's my user, Reddit user. 03:36.040 --> 03:43.090 And they give a suggestion on a URL you can use to connect, which we are going to be using. 03:43.090 --> 03:45.910 So copy this URL you see up here. 03:46.900 --> 03:47.710 Copy that. 03:48.670 --> 03:53.410 And then we'll just paste it here for later use. 03:53.650 --> 03:59.020 So then we copy the user, put it in where it says user here. 04:00.440 --> 04:04.130 Then we copy the password. 04:04.160 --> 04:07.430 Put it in where it says password. 04:09.560 --> 04:11.120 Pretty straightforward, right? 04:11.210 --> 04:14.930 And now we need to get to the mongoose connecting part.
