Power BI REST API embed token and infinite loading report

[SaraStep]

Hi guys,

I have issues with Power BI Rest API. I need to add a Power BI report to my internal portal as "Embed report Website or portal".

I started in Postman. First of all, I had an access token generated.

Secondly, I had an embed token generated with report and group parameters and bearer token (from the previous screenshots)

The call return the embed token and I added to URL.

https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId=REPORT_ID&groupId=GROUP_ID&w=2&config=EMBED_TOKEN

As soon as I want to use the Embed Url that I obtained, Power BI loads endlessly.

Could anyone advise me where I'm going wrong? Is there a parameter missing somewhere for example in the Body (the second call)?

Thank you very much.

Hi @SaraStep ,

1. Please verify whether the token is correct. Please try to send an api request, for example: GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/reports, to verify whether your token can access the Power BI api. If the data can be returned, the token generation steps are correct. 

2. Put the token in the request header. The token parameter should be placed in the request header instead of being placed in the link as a parameter. In front of this token is a: Bearer token.

3. For more details, please refer to the link:
