Have a look at https://github.com/sceneskope/powerbi

      I'm using .Net core, and last time I checked those libraries don't support username and passwords. In fact I remember seeing a comment on github from one of the developers saying they won't add in username and passwords.

       

      I'm using the libraries I created on github to push into power bi from a number of places, such as a raspberry pi running a dotnet core app, all the way through to a service fabric service running .net 452.

       

      If you aren't using .Net core, then you are ok with the UserPasswordCredential object.
