Fetch data from Azure Cosmos DB using C#

Step 1: Install Nuget package.

Step 2: Connect to an Azure Cosmos DB account

Add these namespaces to your code

// ADD THIS PART TO YOUR CODE

using System.Net;

using Microsoft.Azure.Documents;

using Microsoft.Azure.Documents.Client;

using Newtonsoft.Json;

Add these global variable in your code file.

private static readonly string EndpointUri = "https://test.documents.azure.com:443/";

/// <summary>
 /// The primary key for the Azure DocumentDB account.
/// </summary>
private static readonly string PrimaryKey = "<primary key>";

/// <summary>
/// The DocumentDB client instance.
/// </summary>6n6yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
private DocumentClient client;

Add below code in main function-Here I am just execute select command from cosmosdb
collection
// Create a new instance of the DocumentClient
this.client = new DocumentClient(new Uri(EndpointUri), PrimaryKey);

this.ExecutefetchQuery("FamilyDB_og", "FamilyCollection_og");

private void ExecuteFetchQuery(string databaseName, string collectionName)

{
// Set some common query options
FeedOptions queryOptions = new FeedOptions { MaxItemCount = -1 };

// Run a simple query via LINQ. DocumentDB indexes all properties, so

queries can be completed efficiently and with low latency.
// Here we find the Andersen family via its LastName
IQueryable<Family> familyQuery = this.client.CreateDocumentQuery<Family>(
UriFactory.CreateDocumentCollectionUri(databaseName, collectionName),
queryOptions)
.Where(f => f.LastName == "Andersen");

// The query is executed synchronously here, but can also be executed

asynchronously via the IDocumentQuery<T> interface
Console.WriteLine("Running LINQ query...");
foreach (Family family in familyQuery)
{
Console.WriteLine("\tRead {0}", family);
}

// Now execute the same query via direct SQL

IQueryable<Family> familyQueryInSql =
this.client.CreateDocumentQuery<Family>(
UriFactory.CreateDocumentCollectionUri(databaseName, collectionName),
"SELECT * FROM Family WHERE Family.LastName = 'Andersen'",
queryOptions);

Console.WriteLine("Running direct SQL query...");

foreach (Family family in familyQueryInSql)
{
Console.WriteLine("\tRead {0}", family);
}

Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue ...");

Console.ReadKey();
}
Using REST query Azure Cosmos DB

verb="POST";
resourceType = "docs";
resourceLink = string.Format("dbs/{0}/colls/{1}/docs",
databaseId, collectionId);
resourceId = (idBased) ? string.Format("dbs/{0}/colls/{1}",
databaseId, collectionId) : collectionId.ToLowerInvariant();

authHeader = GenerateMasterKeyAuthorizationSignature(verb,
resourceId, resourceType, masterKey, "master", "1.0");

client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Remove("authorization");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("authorization",
authHeader);
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("x-ms-documentdb-isquery",
"True");

var qry = new SqlQuerySpec { query = "SELECT * FROM root" };

var r = client.PostWithNoCharSetAsync(new Uri(baseUri,
resourceLink), qry).Result;

Console.WriteLine(r.Content.ToString());
