Summary
The documentation provides a detailed PowerShell example for interacting with the API, relying on the MSAL.PS module and Windows certificate store. There are no equivalent examples for Linux or cross-platform command-line tools (such as curl, Python, or bash), nor is there guidance for acquiring tokens or making API calls on non-Windows systems. The use of Windows-specific tooling and lack of Linux alternatives creates a clear Windows bias.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent sample code for Linux environments using curl, Python (requests + MSAL), or bash scripts.
  • Document how to acquire and use certificates and secrets for authentication on Linux/macOS, including storing and referencing them.
  • Provide cross-platform guidance for installing and using MSAL libraries (e.g., Python MSAL, Node.js MSAL) and making REST API calls.
  • Include notes or sections on how to adapt the workflow for Linux, such as using OpenSSL for certificate management and environment variables for secrets.
  • Ensure all examples are presented in a platform-neutral way or provide both Windows and Linux/macOS alternatives side-by-side.
