Re: 403 forbidden error

I am trying to embedd my power bi report in wordpress site using "Power BI Embedded".

I am using Azure free account on which I have created the workspace collection, workspace and also imported the report into the workspace.

Now I need to put PHP code in my website for embedding the report before that I need to get "report id", so for that I am using the API request "Get https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/collections/[CollectionName]/workspaces/7[workspaceID]/reports".

I am running this request in "Postman" Chrome app to get the http response but it is giving "403 forbidden" error.

Please help.

How did you pass the dev token?

I have generated the developer token in php and then passed it in javascript code in Iframe with the help of PHP variable.

Like this:

<?PHP

$apptoken = ....

?>

<body>
<button id="btnView">View Report !</button>
<div id="divView">
<iframe id="ifrTile" width="100%" height="400"></iframe>
</div>
<script>
(function () {
document.getElementById('btnView').onclick = function() {
var iframe = document.getElementById('ifrTile');
iframe.src='https://embedded.powerbi.com/appTokenReportEmbed?reportId=2d4210c6-be8b-4bf9-8cd4-134f99a0c1fa';
iframe.onload = function() {
var msgJson = {
action: "loadReport",
accessToken: "<?=$apptoken?>",
height: 500,
width: 722
};
var msgTxt = JSON.stringify(msgJson);
iframe.contentWindow.postMessage(msgTxt, "*");
};
};
}());
</script>
</body>

When I debugged the code I found that the token gets generated fine in PHP but when I access PHP variable in javascript code the value is not shown. The value is not transfered from appken to accessToken.

I think some where I am not properly using the PHP variable in javascript.
