Fabric Data Engineering Cosmos Mongo DB source

Hi All: 

I've started work on a project where the data is in a Cosmos Mongo DB ( RU) account.  
I've managed to get connectivity working in synapse but I'd very much like to use Fabric Data pipelines & flows. 
I cannot see a native source connection for Cosmos Mongo DB in Fabric and wondeting if there's any work around. 

 

Thanks in advance.

    I've just done this however, I had to put it under Synapse as FAbric is not an option.

    Hi NickA01 
    Thanks for using Fabric Community.
    Microsoft Fabric supports Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL connections. You can set up your connection in a data pipeline. However, this might not be directly applicable if you’re specifically using the MongoDB API.
    For more information please refer to these links:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-factory/connector-mongodb-overview
    Set up your Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL connection - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
    Configure Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL in a copy activity - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

    Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further queries.

    Anonymous Thanks but that dosen't answer my question. 
    The fabric Cosmos connector is for the No-SQL version of Cosmos, not the Mongo version and the native mongo connectors will not connect to a Cosmos Mongo Analytics Store. 

    I have managed to hack this but properly supported connection (in the same manner as Synapse)  would be more benificial. 
    Here the start of my M query 
    Blank Query 
    let
    Source = DocumentDB.Contents("https://<cosmosMongoAccountName>.documents.azure.com:443/", "<cosmosMongo DB Name>", "<collection name>"),
    #"Expanded Document" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(Source, "Document",<list out the fileds here>

      I am having the same issue where I was able to use the MongoDB API in Data Factory and Synapse but it was not available in Fabric. Could you please post the instructions on what your hack was, or possibly make a video on it? It would be a great help
