What is the IFrame target origin for embedding PowerBI dashboard
I'm using the PowerBI REST API along with ADAL.js and getting Dashboards. I want to embed a Dashboard in an IFrame. I'm using Angular.JS
So what did was something like this. Notice I have used "*" as the IFrame Target Origin. dashboardEmbedUrl is obtained from the API call
<iframe id="PBDashboard" ng-show="dashboardVisible" src="{{dashboardEmbededUrl}}" frameborder="0" style="height: 100vh; width: 100%"></iframe>
and in my controller
var iframe = document.getElementById("PBDashboard") const loadIframeDashboardEventListner = function() { const token = localStorage.getItem('adal.access.token.keyhttps://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api'); iframe.contentWindow.postMessage(JSON.stringify({ action: "loadDashboard", accessToken: token }), "*") //target is *. what should be the specific URL needed here }
and
iframe.addEventListener("load",loadIframeDashboardEventListner);
This works perfectly fine but using "*" triggers a security warning in SonarCloud. It says to specify a target. I'm not sure what the target should be. The API call also gives a webUrl along with the embedUrl. I used the webUrl instead of the "*" and it rendered the IFrame data but also gave the following error in console

Hi cmgchess,
AFAIK, the basic embedded processing required token, permission, embed URL, embedded content id, and content type.

I think this part may match with the 'embed URL' which you configure in the embed configurations.
In addition, you can also take a look at the following link about power bi embedded playground which shares the online sandbox with code snap if helps:
