Embed Power BI using restful API error

Anonymous — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 19:21:59 GMT

I am using restful API to embed a dashboard, but I am getting the following error while the frame is loaded in the browser

Uncaught Error: Report id is required, but it was not found. You must provide an id either as part of embed configuration or as attribute 'powerbi-report-id'.

Here is the portion of code on pbiembedservice.py

# Get embed token # embedtokenurl = 'https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/GenerateToken' embedtokenurl = 'https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/ceaa1d50-6123-47b3-98ce-0aedf7c14141/dashboards/9a43729e-9912-4ca7-adfe-c91498e91d7e/tiles/ea3d500d-2a18-41fc-ac7d-a6209b6a7c18/GenerateToken' body = {'datasets': []} if datasetId != '': body['datasets'].append({'id': datasetId}) if app.config['REPORT_ID'] != '': body['reports'] = [] #body['reports'].append({'id': reportId}) body['reports'].append({'id': app.config['REPORT_ID']}) if app.config['WORKSPACE_ID'] != '': body['targetWorkspaces'] = [] body['targetWorkspaces'].append({'id': app.config['WORKSPACE_ID']}) apiresponse = None try: # Generate Embed token for multiple workspaces, datasets, and reports. Refer https://aka.ms/MultiResourceEmbedToken print(body) print(embedtokenurl) #apiresponse = requests.post(reporturl, data=json.dumps(body), headers=headers) apiresponse = requests.post(embedtokenurl, data=json.dumps(body), headers=headers)

You are trying to embed a dashboard. Is that your intention?

Yes. You are right, I am trying to embed dashboard into website.

why? What's the rationale for that? Dashboards and dashboard tiles are not interactive. You don't really want to do that.

Ok You mean the visuals we pin to make a dashboard are not interactive? Then If I want to combine visuals/report from multiple dataset how could I do that in powerBI? I know in the reports visuals are interactive, so do you suggest to make reports with multiple visuals?

Please let me know.

Thank You!
