Connecting to MarkLogic with Python
CData Python Connectors leverage the Database API (DB-API) interface to make it easy to work with MarkLogic from a wide range of standard Python data tools. Connecting to and working with your data in Python follows a basic pattern, regardless of data source:
- Configure the connection properties to MarkLogic
- Query MarkLogic to retrieve or update data
- Connect your MarkLogic data with Python data tools.

Connecting to MarkLogic in Python
To connect to your data from Python, import the extension and create a connection:
Once you import the extension, you can work with all of your enterprise data using the python modules and toolkits that you already know and love, quickly building apps that help you drive business.
import cdata.marklogic as mod
conn = mod.connect("[email protected]; Password=password;")
#Create cursor and iterate over results
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM NoSQLDB")
rs = cur.fetchall()
for row in rs:
print(row)
engine = create_engine("marklogic///Password=password&User=user")
df = pandas.read_sql("SELECT * FROM NoSQLDB", engine)
df.plot()
plt.show()
Visualize MarkLogic Data with pandas
The data-centric interfaces of the MarkLogic Python Connector make it easy to integrate with popular tools like pandas and SQLAlchemy to visualize data in real-time.
AI-assisted development with CData CLI
Build MarkLogic integrations faster with AI that understands your schema
Schema-aware AI
CData CLI gives AI coding tools access to your MarkLogic schema. No more guessing table names or column types—AI sees the same metadata in your Python Connectors.
Your AI Knows SQL
How to find table names, column names, and how to generate SQL syntax are things that AI knows well from millions of training data. No need for customization, no hallucinations. Your AI acts like a domain specialist to MarkLogic.
More Accurate, More Token-Efficient
With CData CLI's queryable schema detection and highly efficient queries with filters, aggregation, joins with correct pushdown, your AI will achieve more accuracy with less token usage.
