Register an application for Power BI

[UncleLewis]

Hi all,

Trying to Regiser an application so I can get various workspace details using the Power BI REST API.
I'm following tutrial on SQLShack

Howver, when I login at Developer Resources screen, it takes me directly to my Power BI landing page in my tenant

How can either register the application from this point? Or go to the next step per the screenshots in the tutorial to regsiter the app?

btw, I also tried some of the other tutorial mentioned in the community and all of those steps failed with error: "Access to the Resource is forbidden" so no use providing those links - they are not working for whatever reason.

Thanks

Hi @UncleLewis ,

In that case, you should be able to follow this Azure AD app registration documentation to get started: 
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/quickstart-register-app?tabs=certificate

Once the app registration is complete you can always change the configurations.  This article would give you a bit more information on how to create the app registration from Azure: https://minkus.medium.com/easily-connecting-between-power-query-power-bi-and-microsoft-graph-72333eb...

If you're intending on using the app from Power Automate or PowerApps, you may also need to include the following Redirect URI:

https://api.powerbi.com

https://oauth.powerbi.com/views/oauthredirect.html

https://app.powerbi.com

https://global.consent.azure-apim.net/redirect

Thanks@hnguy71 ,

Looks like that requires me to purchase as Entra id (Formerly Azure) - not interested

Guess I'll have to get by on requesting a new bearer token every hour.

Thanks,

Hi @UncleLewis 

Obtaining an Azure / Entra id is free. I think it's a great idea to have one to access all the other free services. If you're working for an organization, you should already have a tenant id hosting your Power BI workspaces...

Hi @UncleLewis 

Typically in a larger organization, it's very likely that your tenant or IT admin has restricted the ability for app registrations to only a select few. I would contact your tenant admins to assist and create the app registration (and its associated permissions) on your behalf.
