# Azure CosmosDB

To obtain the connection string needed to connect to a Cosmos DB account using the SQL API, log in to the Azure Portal, select Azure Cosmos DB, and select your account. In the Settings section, click Connection String and set the following values:

* AccountEndpoint: The value should be the Cosmos DB account URL from the Keys blade of the Cosmos DB account.
* AccountKey: In the Azure portal, navigate to the Cosmos DB service and select your Azure Cosmos DB account. From the resource menu, go to the Keys page. Find the PRIMARY KEY value and set Token to this value.
* TokenType: (Optional) Set this to 'master' if you are using a Master Token, which is a full permissions token generated during account creation. Otherwise, set this property to 'resource' if you are using a Resource Token, which is custom permissions token generated when a database user is set up. The default value is 'master'. Check the TokenType connection property description for more details.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.appstrategy.com/apprules-r-documentation/platform/platform-features/system-settings/data-sources/connection-settings/nosql/cosmosdb.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
