Offers

  • Article

Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed multi-model database that supports the document, graph, and key-value data models. The content in this section is for creating, querying, and managing offers using the SQL API via REST.

Each Azure Cosmos DB collection is provisioned with an associated performance level represented as an Offer resource in the REST model. Azure Cosmos DB supports offers representing both user-defined performance levels and pre-defined performance levels. Each offer has an associated request unit (RU) rate limit. It is the throughput that is reserved for a collection based on its performance level, and is available for use by that collection exclusively.

The offer resource is represented by offers in the Cosmos DB resource model. Here’s an example of the URI: https://mydbaccount.documents.azure.com/offers.

The following example illustrates the JSON construct of an offer with user-defined throughput (V2):

{  
  "offerVersion": "V2",  
  "offerType": "Invalid",  
  "_rid": "Hu+t",  
  "content": {  
    "offerThroughput": 500  
  },  
  "resource": "dbs/yEcCAA==/colls/yEcCAPX6aAw=/",  
  "offerResourceId": "yEcCAPX6aAw=",  
  "id": "Hu+t",  
  "_self": "offers/Hu+t/",  
  "_etag": "\"00009100-0000-0000-0000-56fa9a1f0000\"",  
  "_ts": 1459264031  
}
Property Description
offerVersion Required. V2 is the current version for request unit-based throughput.
content Required. Contains information about the offer – for V2 offers, this contains the throughput of the collection.
resource Required. When creating a new collection, this property is set to the self-link of the collection for example, dbs/pLJdAA==/colls/pLJdAOlEdgA=/.
offerResourceId Required. During creation of a collection, this property is automatically associated to the resource ID, that is, _rid of the collection. In the example above, the _rid for the collection is pLJdAOlEdgA=.
ID It is a system generated property. The id for the offer resource is automatically generated when it is created. It has the same value as the _rid for the offer.
_rid It is a system generated property. The resource ID (_rid) is a unique identifier that is also hierarchical per the resource stack on the resource model. It is used internally for placement and navigation of the offer.
_ts It is a system generated property. It specifies the last updated timestamp of the resource. The value is a timestamp.
_self It is a system generated property. It is the unique addressable URI for the resource.
_etag It is a system generated property that specifies the resource etag required for optimistic concurrency control.
