Summary
The documentation provides only a PowerShell example for obtaining service access tokens, with no equivalent Linux or cross-platform (e.g., curl, bash, Python) examples. The 'Next steps' section also points to more PowerShell scripts, reinforcing a Windows-centric approach. There is no mention of Linux tools or guidance for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using curl and/or wget for Linux/macOS users.
- Provide a cross-platform example in a language like Python that works on both Windows and Linux.
- Mention that the API can be accessed from any platform and clarify that PowerShell is just one option.
- Include links or references to Linux/macOS documentation or scripts where appropriate.
- Reorder or balance examples so that Windows and Linux approaches are presented with equal prominence.
