Cosmos DB Rest API - unable to get document after passing partition key

Question

Trying to get a document by its id using the following API (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/cosmos-db/get-a-document). However, after providing the value for x-ms-documentdb-partitionkey I keep getting a not found error message despite the document existing.

A sample document is attached below:

And the partition key is defined below:

Note that I can use the list documents API with no issues, it shows all the documents in the collection as expected.

I am using Postman to send the API request.

Hi,

x-ms-documentdb-partitionkey needs to be set to the partition key value. For your sample document you would set it to "personal".
