Advocate IISetting up javascript api - the perpetual mystery of access tokens
Cheers to everyone in the community who has helped with everything so far.
I really need some directions on finding the necessary authentication credentials to embed a report within the new javascript API, as mentioned in posts by othersPaulFowler; I have found that the api documentation includes a detailed walk through of everything 'except the definition and set up of authentication credentials which is a pretty crucial part.
The sample here works brilliantly (I love that there is print options) and the code is straight forward. I know these are the variables I need: and this is my current situation on tracking them down.
Access token: virtually no idea where to find this, absolutely no clue
Type: "report"
ID: Comes from the workspace ID in Azure I think? eg "c52af8ab-0468-4165-92af-dc39858d66ad"
Name: I assume is just the name of the embedded report
WebURL & embedURL: I am hoping come from the same place in PBI service (File>Publish to web)
There may be something obvious that I am missing but I have now spent far too much time scratching my beard with no results.
Any responses will be highly appreciated.
No magic to get the token but in code.
To get access token for REST API, check Sample C# code to get access token, and get report.
