Hi @Anonymous ,

There is extensive documentation on the use of the powerbi rest api. The following steps should be followed.
Step 1: Register an Application for Power BI
Step 2: Authorize User
Step 3: Generate Access Token
Step 4: List of Reports
Step 5: List of Datasets

For more details, you can read below blog and document:

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards,
Henry

Hi Henry,

             i have some confusion regarding app registration in Power BI. I am trying to connect to a custom cloud from InfiBeam. I was trying to test the api endpoints with Postman it was working fine initially. Thus i tried to connect directly to the custom API via Power BI which was throwing error unable to authenticate. Now the endpoints is not working in Postman so i am checking with the API team once its fixed i willl get back to you with more details.

Thanks,

Rudranu
