Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows environments by exclusively mentioning and recommending Windows-centric tools such as Power BI and Excel for cost data analysis, without referencing Linux-friendly alternatives or command-line workflows. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users (e.g., using CLI tools, scripting in Bash, or open-source data analysis tools), and the documentation assumes the use of GUI tools more common on Windows. This may hinder Linux users or those working in cross-platform or headless environments.
Recommendations
- Include examples for Linux users, such as using curl or wget to interact with the Cost Details API, and parsing CSV data with command-line tools like awk, sed, or Python scripts.
- Mention open-source or cross-platform data analysis tools (e.g., Jupyter Notebooks, pandas, Apache Arrow, or LibreOffice Calc) alongside Power BI and Excel.
- Provide sample automation scripts in Bash or Python, not just API request payloads, to demonstrate end-to-end workflows on Linux.
- Clarify that the APIs and exports can be consumed and processed on any platform, not just with Windows tools.
- If referencing Power BI, note its availability (or lack thereof) on non-Windows platforms and suggest alternatives for Linux users.
