  • collection: A mongoc_collection_t.
  • flags: A mongoc_insert_flags_t.
  • document: A bson_t.
  • write_concern: A mongoc_write_concern_t.
  • error: An optional location for a bson_error_t or NULL.

To pass additional options, use mongoc_collection_insert_one() or mongoc_collection_insert_many().


This function shall insert document into collection.

If no _id element is found in document, then a bson_oid_t will be generated locally and added to the document. If you must know the inserted document's _id, generate it in your code and include it in the document. The _id you generate can be a bson_oid_t or any other non-array BSON type.

Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

Returns true if successful. Returns false and sets error if there are invalid arguments or a server or network error.

A write concern timeout or write concern error is considered a failure.
