Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias in its example for calling the upload API, providing only a PowerShell function using the MSAL.PS module and referencing Windows-specific certificate stores. No equivalent Linux or cross-platform examples (such as curl, Python, or bash) are provided. The only concrete code sample is for PowerShell, and Windows tooling is mentioned exclusively and first. This may hinder Linux users or those using non-Windows environments from easily following the instructions.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux and cross-platform examples for calling the API, such as using curl, Python (requests + MSAL), or bash scripts.
  • Include instructions for acquiring certificates and tokens on Linux/macOS, avoiding references to Windows-only certificate stores (e.g., Cert:\CurrentUser\My).
  • Mention cross-platform authentication libraries (MSAL for Python, Node.js, etc.) and provide sample code.
  • Present examples in a platform-neutral order, or explicitly state that the API can be called from any OS.
  • Clarify that the API is not limited to Windows and PowerShell, and encourage contributions/examples from other platforms.
