Summary:
The documentation provides a detailed PowerShell function as the only example for programmatically calling the upload API, relying on the MSAL.PS PowerShell module and Windows certificate store paths. There are no equivalent examples for Linux or cross-platform scripting environments such as Bash/cURL or Python. This focus on PowerShell and Windows-specific tooling may hinder Linux users or those working in non-Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent example(s) for Linux environments, such as using Bash with cURL or Python scripts leveraging the MSAL or requests libraries.
- Demonstrate how to handle authentication and certificate management in a cross-platform way (e.g., using PEM files instead of Windows certificate store).
- Explicitly mention that the API can be accessed from any platform and provide at least one non-Windows example before or alongside the PowerShell example.
- Reference cross-platform tools (e.g., OpenSSL, cURL, Python) where appropriate, not just Windows/PowerShell modules.
- Clarify any platform-specific requirements or differences in the authentication/token acquisition process.
