## Querying for Documents from Couchbase[​](#querying-for-documents-from-couchbase "Direct link to Querying for Documents from Couchbase")

For more details on connecting to a Couchbase cluster, please check the [Python SDK documentation](https://docs.couchbase.com/python-sdk/current/howtos/managing-connections.html#connection-strings).

For help with querying for documents using SQL++ (SQL for JSON), please check the [documentation](https://docs.couchbase.com/server/current/n1ql/n1ql-language-reference/index.html).

```
from langchain_community.document_loaders.couchbase import CouchbaseLoaderconnection_string = "couchbase://localhost"  # valid Couchbase connection stringdb_username = (    "Administrator"  # valid database user with read access to the bucket being queried)db_password = "Password"  # password for the database user# query is a valid SQL++ queryquery = """    SELECT h.* FROM `travel-sample`.inventory.hotel h         WHERE h.country = 'United States'        LIMIT 1        """
```

## Create the Loader[​](#create-the-loader "Direct link to Create the Loader")

```
loader = CouchbaseLoader(    connection_string,    db_username,    db_password,    query,)
```

You can fetch the documents by calling the `load` method of the loader. It will return a list with all the documents. If you want to avoid this blocking call, you can call `lazy_load` method that returns an Iterator.

```
docs = loader.load()print(docs)
```
