Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL client library samples for Python

Getting started

This repo has a devcontainer environment making it easy to get started.

Run the app

Configure your Azure Cosmos DB credentials as environment variables.

export COSMOS_ENDPOINT="<cosmos-account-URI>"
export COSMOS_KEY="<cosmos-account-PRIMARY-KEY>"

💡 TIP: If you don't have an Azure Cosmos DB account, create a free account.

Run the quickstart sample app using the azure-cosmos package from PyPI.

pip install azure-cosmos
python 001-quickstart/app.py

Validate any changes you make

If you change the code, run the linter and code formatter.

pip install flake8
flake8 --verbose 001-quickstart/app.py

pip install black
black --verbose 001-quickstart/app.py

Troubleshooting

If you use a self-signed certificate to connect your Cosmos DB instance (Cosmos-emulator, Docker image, proxy, ...), you can define your own certificate in the REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE environment variable :

export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE='/etc/ssl/certs/emulatorcert.pem'
