Test the project

Test the project by debugging it (F5)

Since our application uses Swagger, we should be able to see the screen below:

Post an item

{
  "name": "Buy tomatoes",
  "description": "By this weekend",
  "completed": false
}

Verify success response

Copy the item id, you can again query by sending a Get request:

See all items

Since our API has mechanisms to get all the items, we can execute the same. In case you are signed out of your account you can sign in again using this link: https://cosmos.azure.com/try/

Verify the same in Azure portal

All the data we posted using our web api project will appear in the data explorer on the portal. In case you are signed out of your account you can sign in again using this link: https://cosmos.azure.com/try/
