Unable to use $near

[martinsJoseph]

Hello guys, I am having issues with using flask-mongoalchemy to query my database and get results that are close to the longitude and latitude I passed.

My Model:

class Event(db.Document): meta = { 'indexes': [ ("*location.coordinates", "2dsphere") ] }

user_id = db.StringField()
uuid = db.StringField()
name = db.StringField()
address = db.StringField()
start_time = db.DateTimeField(required=True, default=datetime.datetime.now())
end_time = db.DateTimeField(required=True, default=datetime.datetime.now())
location = db.DictField(db.AnythingField())

When an event is created this is how the document is meant to look like: { "address": "Surulere", "end_time": "2019-10-13T00:00:00", "location": { "coordinates": [ -119.3996898, 19.6255545 ], "type": "Point" }, "name": "Amazonss__", "start_time": "2019-10-12T00:00:00", "user_id": "3b15b5f9d6d1ab93d14db52cabe6ac", "uuid": "baa75b69047369a48342e6939c56d3" }

And My Code for Querying is: event = Event.query.filter({"location" : { "$near" : { "$geometry" : { "type" : "Point", "coordinates" : [longitude, latitude] }, "$maxDistance" : 4000 } } }).first()
