Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples for generating tokens and calling APIs are provided exclusively in PowerShell, a Windows-centric shell. There are no equivalent examples using cross-platform or Linux-native tools (such as curl or bash scripts). The only CLI scripting guidance is for Azure PowerShell, and there is no mention of Linux or macOS workflows. The documentation assumes use of the Azure Portal (web UI), which is cross-platform, but all automation and scripting is presented in a Windows-first manner.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent examples using curl and bash for Linux/macOS users, especially for OAuth token generation and API calls.
- Explicitly mention that the API calls and token generation can be performed from any OS, not just Windows.
- Where Azure PowerShell is referenced, also provide Azure CLI (az) equivalents, which are cross-platform.
- Add a note or section highlighting Linux/macOS compatibility and any OS-specific considerations.
- Ensure screenshots and UI instructions do not assume a Windows environment unless absolutely necessary.
