401 Unauthorized: Error while retrieving Embed URL (embed power bi for customers-Python)

I took every steps in this [tutorial](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embed-sample-for-customers?tabs=net-core) and got all the required [information / IDs / Parameters](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embed-sample-for-customers?tabs=net-core#step-5---get-the-embedding-parameter-values). Also watched these [vids](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLib8Q64STW-tCZVSvBAuEIzBsVlf0C81f).

However, at the final stage when running the [sample python code (flask app)](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embed-sample-for-customers?tabs=python#step-8---embed-your-content), and opening the localhost url in my browser I get this error:

```
Error Details:
401 Unauthorized: Error while retrieving Embed URL
Unauthorized:
RequestId: 0b143776-bc54-492e-80bc-5401ecf32fd3
```

Which I can't figure out why

it seems that I'm unable to get the token and 401 is return in `pbiembedservice.py` as the api response (last line):
```
class PbiEmbedService:

def get_embed_params_for_single_report(self, workspace_id, report_id, additional_dataset_id=None):
'''Get embed params for a report and a workspace

Args:
workspace_id (str): Workspace Id
report_id (str): Report Id
additional_dataset_id (str, optional): Dataset Id different than the one bound to the report. Defaults to None.

Returns:
EmbedConfig: Embed token and Embed URL
'''

report_url = f'https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{workspace_id}/reports/{report_id}'
api_response = requests.get(report_url, headers=self.get_request_header())
```

Other posts were not very helpful, can someone help me with that

    Hi Anonymous,

    Have you checked the device configurations to confirm if firewall policy and port settings enabled correctly?

    Add Power BI URLs to allow list - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

    BTW, current power bi embedded features seem not able to be used offline, these token functions required to access to azure service.
