Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias in several ways. The only explicit command-line example for generating a GUID uses PowerShell ('new-guid'), a Windows-specific tool, and mentions it before suggesting an online generator. The scripting example for obtaining an access token is given first in PowerShell, with a cURL (Linux/macOS-friendly) example following. There are no Linux shell or cross-platform alternatives for the GUID generation or other administrative tasks. Windows terminology and tools are referenced without Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux and macOS equivalents for all command-line examples, such as using 'uuidgen' for GUID generation.
  • When listing multiple platform options, alternate or randomize the order, or present them side-by-side rather than always listing Windows/PowerShell first.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform tools (e.g., cURL, HTTPie, uuidgen) and provide examples for each.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (like PowerShell) without also including Linux/macOS alternatives.
  • Add a section or callout for Linux/macOS users, ensuring parity in instructions and tooling.
