API Authorization Issue

Hello guys,

 

I have the below API which is running smoothly.

Then, I'm copying the token and I am insterting it to the next API, which still runs just fine.

But, when I'm trying to make it dynamically, then it throws error.

Seems ok until second step.

And the error at the third step.

Any idea how to solve this?

Hi @minasexc ,

 

1. Get Access token in Power BI Desktop:

 

() =>

 

let

    body = "client_id=" & #"App ID"

    & "&scope=https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api/.default&client_secret=" & #"App Secret"

    & "&grant_type=client_credentials",

    Data= Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://login.microsoftonline.com/"& TenantID & "/oauth2/v2.0/token/",

    [Headers=[#"Content-Type"="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"], Content=Text.ToBinary(body)])),

    access_token = Data[access_token]

in

    access_token

OR

() =>

 

let

    body =  "&grant_type=Password&resource = https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api

&client_id=*****&username=*****&password=*****",

    
 Data=Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token/",

    [Headers=[#"Content-Type"="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"], Content=Text.ToBinary(body)])),

    access_token = Data[access_token]

in

    access_token

You can replace bear token by the access token parameter. It will refresh every time your refresh your report.
