Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias in several areas. The only explicit command-line example for generating a GUID uses Microsoft PowerShell, with no mention of Linux alternatives (e.g., uuidgen). The PowerShell script for obtaining an access token is presented before the cURL example, and the guidance for generating GUIDs prioritizes PowerShell over platform-neutral or Linux-native tools. There is a lack of Linux-specific instructions or examples for common tasks, and Windows tools/patterns are referenced without Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux-native command examples for generating GUIDs, such as 'uuidgen' or 'cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid'.
  • Present cURL (cross-platform) examples before or alongside PowerShell scripts to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Explicitly mention platform-neutral or Linux alternatives wherever Windows tools (like PowerShell) are referenced.
  • Add notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, especially for steps involving command-line operations.
  • Ensure that all code snippets and tool recommendations are cross-platform or provide equivalents for each major OS.
