I don't find how to download it. I'd like to do it for 2 reasons:
However, I don't find an easy way like clicking on a button to download it.
The only way seems to code a complex piece of code to go throw the whole database and export it in some format like JSON.
Am I right? Hopefully you found an easy way to download the database from Azure!
We clicked here:
But that csv doesn't contain any data, just information about databases
You could use Azure Data Factory and export your data e.g. to Blob Storage in CSV format. should be very easy to build with the copy wizard https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/quickstart-create-data-factory-copy-data-tool
The Export to CSV button that you showed above does only export the table of resources in the Azure Portal, it has nothing to do with Cosmos DB or even the data inside it.
I use the Azure Cosmos DB Data Migration Tool for that purpose. You can download it here, and it's got a simple UI for both importing and exporting data. I find it quite a bit easier than Data Factory. And since it runs locally on Windows, it also works with the Cosmos DB Emulator.
I didn't find an EASY way in azure tools, so I use compass to export data as json for mongoDB collections and I call it EASY.
