how to push data trough api

Hello,

 

I'm following this tutorial:
https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/power-bi/developer/walkthrough-push-data

I choosed a native application type in the first step, what should I use for the different uri in the second step? in the native mode, you have only the clientID
https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/power-bi/developer/walkthrough-push-data-get-token

//RedirectUri you used when you register your app.
           //For a client app, a redirect uri gives Azure AD more details on the application that it will authenticate.
           // You can use this redirect uri for your client app
           string redirectUri = "https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf";

           //Resource Uri for Power BI API
           string resourceUri = "https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api";

           //OAuth2 authority Uri
           string authorityUri = "https://login.microsoftonline.net/common/";

Thanks for your answer

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Ok the document is out-dated. Please follow my instruction as below

     

    1. Update the nuget package manager for the Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory 

     

    Install-Package Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory -Version 4.5.1.0

     

    2.  update your code like below

     

     AuthenticationContext authContext = new AuthenticationContext(authorityUri);
           //update with your master account email and password
            var userCreds = new UserPasswordCredential("[email protected]", "myEasyToCrackPassword");

            var userAuthnResult = authContext.AcquireTokenAsync(resourceUri, clientID, userCreds).Result;
            
            string token=userAuthnResult.AccessToken;

     

    You don't need the redirect url at all.

    ResourceUri and authorityurl remains same as

     

    string resourceUri = "https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api";

//OAuth2 authority Uri
string authorityUri = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/";

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    The Redirect url become valid only for the Web app type registration. Since you used native you can use the one which provided in the code itself

     

    string redirectUri = "https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf";
