I try to import a bunch of JSON files into cosmos db emulator, so localhost. Ik try to do this using the DocumentDB Data Migration Tool. Before anyone says that the tool is not working for cosmos db. According to Microsoft it should work: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/import-data

But my problem is I can't connect to my local emulator. I tried Googling, but I can't find a right connection string for the tool to work. Any one any idea what the connection string for local emulator is? Or the username and password?

The connection string for your app can be 

AccountEndpoint=https://localhost:8081/;AccountKey=C2y6yDjf5/R+ob0N8A7Cgv30VRDJIWEHLM+4QDU5DE2nQ9nDuVTqobD4b8mGGyPMbIZnqyMsEcaGQy67XIw/Jw==

If you navigate to https://localhost:8081/_explorer/index.html, you can find all the details.

Make sure emulator is running to navigate to the url and use the url in chrome, firefox gives some wierd ssl error.
