How to get token from Auth0 On Power BI desktop applications

[Gordon968]

Hi there,

I have web api that provides the data when the bearer token is provided.

Right now I can get the data from Web in power BI desktop application if I got the token from somewhere else, i.e. PostMan.

My question is how I can get access token from auth0 in the Power BI desktop application?

I searched the web and all I found is about embedded power BI (which is complicated to set it up anyway).

Does anyone out there did something similar for desktop power BI? any hint will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Gordon
