Hello, I'm following all the code examples for the azure-cosmos python sdk to connect to my cosmos for mongodb and I get errors. I have Public network access for all networks and I'm using azure-cosmos from pip as said in the samples for python documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/nosql/samples-python
I got the uri and port from settings > connections strings and the key from the primary password (read-write)
I'm out of ideas, would appreciate help here.
HOST = "https://my-cosmos.mongo.cosmos.azure.com:10255/"
MASTER_KEY = "my_primary_key=="
client = cosmos_client.CosmosClient(HOST, credential=MASTER_KEY )
>> Exception has occurred: ServiceResponseError ('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response'))
connection_string = "AccountEndpoint=https://my-cosmos.mongo.cosmos.azure.com:10255/;AccountKey=my_key"
client = cosmos_client.CosmosClient.from_connection_string(connection_string)
>> Exception has occurred: ServiceResponseError ('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response'))
The sample that you're following is applicable to only NOSQL (Core) API of Azure Cosmos DB.
To use Cosmos DB Mongo API with Python you can use any of the opensource drivers for python.
Follow this sample here.

Thank you for reaching out.
My understanding is that you are facing an issue while connecting your Azure cosmos db Mongo db Python SDK.
The sample you linked is only for Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL accounts and isn’t compatible with the API for MongoDB. All of the SDKs developed and owned by our team are only for the NoSQL API, and you can use the native SDKs themselves to connect to the OSS APIs (MongoDB, Cassandra etc).
There’s a tutorial on how to connect to an Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB account using python here: Get started with Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB and Python | Microsoft Learn

Hello guys, that's what I though the first time I got the pip package, but the documentation page I pasted say and I copy paste:
APPLIES TO:
and the link points to https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/tree/master/sdk/cosmos/azure-cosmos
So the github and pip package says is only SQL but the docs are for NoSQL, I assume then that the documentation is not correct?
Thank you! We will verify and make an update if appropriate. Please do also consider using the workaround provided by @Sajeetharan above if you are using Mongo DB API.
