Summary
The documentation provides a detailed PowerShell example for interacting with the upload API, relying on the MSAL.PS PowerShell module and Windows certificate store. No equivalent examples are provided for Linux/macOS users (e.g., Bash, curl, Python, or OpenSSL usage), nor is there guidance for obtaining tokens or sending requests outside of the Windows ecosystem. This creates friction for non-Windows users and suggests a Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
  • Add sample code for Linux/macOS environments, such as Bash/curl, Python (requests + MSAL), or other cross-platform tools.
  • Provide instructions for acquiring certificates and access tokens using OpenSSL and MSAL libraries on Linux/macOS.
  • Clarify that the API can be accessed from any OS and highlight cross-platform authentication and request methods.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific certificate stores (e.g., Cert:\CurrentUser\My) without Linux/macOS alternatives.
  • Include explicit notes or links to cross-platform MSAL usage and REST API invocation.
