Cosmos DBInstall

Summary

Lists containers in the selected Cosmos DB database. Choose the database and authentication method, then optionally limit the results or return each container’s full definition.

Inputs

• Authentication Type — Choose Master Key (default) or Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD); provide the corresponding credential.
• Database Name or ID (required) — Database whose containers to list. Select it from the available databases or enter an ID using an expression.
• Return All — Defaults to true and returns all containers. Set false to use the Limit value.
• Limit — Maximum containers to return when Return All is false; defaults to 50.
• Simplify Output — Defaults to true and returns each container’s id, partitionKeyPaths, and indexingMode. Set false to return the full container definition.
• Use Dev Override (Custom Endpoint + Token) — Optionally bypass the configured authentication flow with a custom endpoint and bearer token.
• Custom Endpoint — Cosmos DB account endpoint, shown when Use Dev Override is enabled.
• Custom Access Token — Bearer token scoped to https://cosmos.azure.com/, shown when Use Dev Override is enabled.

Output shape

A list of n8n items, one per returned container; each item’s JSON contains either the simplified fields or the full container definition.

The node reads all containers from the selected database, then applies Limit if Return All is false. If no containers are returned, the output list is empty.
