Power BI Embed report JavaScript

The process for embedding for non power bi users are all in this demo App Owns Data.

To get the Embedded Token, Embed URL and report id, the first step is to get an accesstoken, see code snippet from this HomeController.cs.

            var credential = new UserPasswordCredential(Username, Password);

            // Authenticate using created credentials
            var authenticationContext = new AuthenticationContext(AuthorityUrl);
            var authenticationResult = await authenticationContext.AcquireTokenAsync(ResourceUrl, ClientId, credential);

And then

// Create a Power BI Client object. It will be used to call Power BI APIs.
            using (var client = new PowerBIClient(new Uri(ApiUrl), tokenCredentials))
            {
                 
                // Get a list of reports.
                var reports = await client.Reports.GetReportsInGroupAsync(GroupId);

                // Get the first report in the group.
                var report = reports.Value.FirstOrDefault();

                if (report == null)
                {
                    return View(new EmbedConfig()
                    {
                        ErrorMessage = "Group has no reports."
                    });
                }

                // Generate Embed Token.
                var generateTokenRequestParameters = new GenerateTokenRequest(accessLevel: "view");
                var tokenResponse = await client.Reports.GenerateTokenInGroupAsync(GroupId, report.Id, generateTokenRequestParameters);

                if (tokenResponse == null)
                {
                    return View(new EmbedConfig()
                    {
                        ErrorMessage = "Failed to generate embed token."
                    });
                }

                // Generate Embed Configuration.
                var embedConfig = new EmbedConfig()
                {
                    EmbedToken = tokenResponse,
                    EmbedUrl = report.EmbedUrl,
                    Id = report.Id
                };

Actually, underlying the code calls those POWER BI REST APIs Get Reports and GenerateToken .
