REST and DocumentDB

Question

I am creating a Xamarin Android application and I want to use DocumentDB, but unfortunately it's impossible to use Microsoft.Azure.DocumentDB NuGet package, and it seems the only way is to use REST.

How can I use REST for receiving, updating, adding data to DocumentDB with C#?

Grab your favorite REST client library and hit the docs. The thing most folks find the most tricky is getting the authentication base64 encoding correct but there are a few good SO answers on that. — Larry Maccherone

There is a giant knowledge base about this. You should read it:

They are also referencing a Github repository that contains examples on how to interact with that REST interface. It's really easy. Just start out by copying chunks of the code and adjust them to your needs:

https://github.com/Azure/azure-documentdb-dotnet/tree/master/samples/rest-from-.net

The code is well commented and explains all the steps in detail.
