Posting JSON to DocumentDB through REST API
If you are trying to use Azure DocumentDB in a .NET application - you may find it easier to simply use the .NET SDK.
Assuming you'd really like to get the REST API working... taking a brief glance, I see a few things that need to be changed:
1.) The auth key looks off.
var primary_key = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("APPSETTING_documentDB_primary_key"); // ... var data = "type=master&ver=1.0&sig=" + primary_key; // ... restRequest.AddHeader("Authorization", data);Rather than passing in a master key, you will need to produce a hash signature. You can find documentation on auth here.
2.) The URI that you sending a POST request to looks a bit off.
var baseUrl = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("APPSETTING_documentDB_endpoint");// ...result = newClient.UploadString(baseUrl, "POST", "{\"id\":\"test1\"}");You will need to construct the URI based on the resource you are trying to operate on. For example, the URI for creating a document should look something like:
https://{databaseaccount}.documents.azure.com/dbs/{_rid-db}/colls/{_rid-col}/docs
