How to download payloads from Azure Cosmos DB efficiently?

Question

I need help figuring out how to download specific payloads from Azure Cosmos DB efficiently.

While exploring the Azure interface, I noticed an option to delete data, but I couldn’t find a straightforward way to download it. For example, I want to download payloads for a query like:

SELECT

I also tried implementing this via Java, and while it worked, the performance was very slow—processing 30 payloads took about 10 minutes.

Is there a built-in Azure tool, feature, or method to directly download specific payloads from Cosmos DB based on a query?

Hi @crynos_001,

Thanks for the Question and using Microsoft Q&A

As per my understanding, you want to download specific payloads from cosmos DB based on a query.

This can be done using Azure Data Factory (ADF).

Please go through this documentation
