Access a shared report
Hello,
I am new to Power BI and am facing a problem.
Our client shared a report with my company and I need to access it through the Rest API.
Can you tell me how to do this?
they may have attempted to share a report from a personal workspace. Ideally they should share a report from within an app on a premium capacity. See this doument for the mechanics.

Hello, thank you for your answer.
I already have access to the Power BI Rest API but cannot access the customer data that is being shared.The link I have is in this form:
https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/reports/XXXX/ReportSectionYYYY?ctid=ZZZZZ

That is a link to the actual report, and it includes all the HTML code to render the report on your browser. That is different from accessing the underlying dataset via an API. Please clarify.
