Is there a way to specify the whole path when running mongodump? I tried using --out but what it does at the moment is saving into a file at my_given_path/database/collection_name.json.gz

I have the following:

path = file_path   '/'   database   '/'   collection   '/'
query_input = "{\\\"metadata_id\\\": {\\\"\$oid\\\": \\\""   metadata_id   "\\\"}}"
command = "mongodump --uri "   connection_string   database   " " \
          "--collection="   collection   " --query=\""   query_input   "\" --gzip --out="   path   " --quiet"

for which the file is saved at: file_path/database/collection/database/collection.json.gz

Ideally I would like to save it into file_path/database/collection/metadata_id.json.gz

Would this be possible?

You can use the --archive=<file> flag instead of --out
