Summary
The documentation provides only Azure PowerShell examples for generating OAuth tokens and calling APIs, with no equivalent Linux/macOS shell (e.g., Bash/cURL) examples. The use of PowerShell is presented as the default and only method for scripting these tasks, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users who do not use PowerShell. Additionally, the documentation references the Azure portal UI, which is cross-platform, but the scripting and automation sections are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Bash/cURL examples for generating tokens and calling APIs, demonstrating how to perform these steps on Linux/macOS.
  • Explicitly state that the PowerShell examples are for Windows and provide alternative instructions for Linux/macOS users.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform tools (e.g., cURL, HTTPie) in examples, or provide both PowerShell and Bash/cURL versions side-by-side.
  • Review the 'azure-powershell-requirements-no-header' include to ensure it does not imply PowerShell is required for all users.
