Getting 403 Forbidden error While using Power BI REST APIs in Postman

SunilEdupuganti — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 08:55:04 GMT

I have downloaded the Power BI Postman collection and trying to call the Power BI APIs. But I am getting 403 Forbidden error. I am completely new to the Power BI APIs.

Can anyone help me how to setup and call the Power BI APIs in the Postman?

Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for the information.

I tried using "Configuring Postman for Use with the Power BI REST API" but I am unable to generate the access token. Could you please help me what I am missing here. I have created an App and gave the required permissions in my App. Kindly, check the attached screenshot.
