Summary
The documentation provides a detailed PowerShell example for interacting with the API, relying on the MSAL.PS module and Windows certificate store paths, but does not offer equivalent Linux or cross-platform examples (e.g., Bash, curl, Python). Windows-centric tools and patterns are presented exclusively and first, which may hinder accessibility for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add sample API request examples using curl and/or Python requests, which are cross-platform and commonly used on Linux.
  • Document how to acquire and use certificates and tokens on Linux (e.g., using OpenSSL, environment variables, or .pem files) instead of Windows certificate store.
  • Include instructions for installing and using MSAL libraries in Python or other languages/platforms popular on Linux.
  • Explicitly mention that the API can be called from any OS and provide parity in examples for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Consider reordering examples so that cross-platform or Linux options are presented before or alongside Windows/PowerShell examples.
