Create a report from an existing one with PBIRS API
Yes, that's exactly what the POST body documentation of the content parameter says:
| string A string value that contains binary encoding by base64url encoding rules. The value of this property is not processed by the server. In object creation the server receives and stores a value, and in object retrieval the server returns the previously stored value. |
For this reason I simply base64 encoded the content of a pbix file but without success.

This is not what you said in your initial post where you get the response from /PowerBIReports({Id})/Content/$value. You said:

if I try to put the same exact content in the POST /PowerBIReports I obtain errors on the json
So are you actually doing the base64 encoding yourself? Because I do not believe the return value from /PowerBIReports({Id})/Content/$value is base64 encoded, it appears to be raw binary.
If you are doing the base64 encoding yourself then you must be missing a comma somewhere else in the post body as the error message says.
Sorry for not being clear: I've done a lot of testing(json, base64, ....)
We have solved encoding the pbix file in base64 not from command line but with a nodejs application. No idea why the base64 command from CLI did not worked.
