Getting access token to request PowerAPI

victordavid — Wed, 13 Jan 2021 06:38:46 GMT

Hello,

I am trying the get an access token in order to fetch PowerBi API. Is there a way to do it without having to pay for a capacity or a PowerBI premium licence ?

Here is what I want to do :

User login and consent to app permissions
App get an access token
App can make request in order to get list of reports or create embed token

I have added API permissions for Microsoft Service (Reports.Read, etc..). I don't really understand why I can't use PowerBI API.

I have implemented the same flow for Sharepoint / OneDrive.

Could anyone help me ?

Hi @victordavid ,

Based on your description, you have a pro license.

Embed tokens with PRO license are intended for development testing, so a Power BI master account or service principal can only generate a limited number of tokens.

Please follow the steps for this blog:
