I tried to use your function, but it didn't help.
using System;
//Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System.Net;
using System.IO;
namespace GenerateEmbeddedToken
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string EmbedTokenForDataSet = generateEmbedTokenForDataSet("the groupID", "the datasetID", "eyxxxxxxxxxtoken");
Console.WriteLine(EmbedTokenForDataSet);
Console.ReadKey();
}
private static string generateEmbedTokenForDataSet(string groupID, string datasetID, string accessBearerToken)
{
string embedToken = "";
HttpWebRequest request = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.CreateHttp(String.Format("https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{0}/reports/GenerateToken", groupID));
//POST web request to create a datasource.
request.KeepAlive = true;
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/json";
//Add token to the request header
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", String.Format("Bearer {0}", accessBearerToken));
string PostData = "{"+
"\"accessLevel\": \"Create\","+
"\"datasetId\": \""+datasetID+"\","+
"\"allowSaveAs\": true"+
"}";
byte[] byteArray = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(PostData);
try
{
//Write JSON byte[] into a Stream
using (Stream writer = request.GetRequestStream())
{
writer.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
var responseJson = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();
dynamic responseString = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(responseJson.ToString());
embedToken = responseString["token"];
}
}
catch (WebException wex)
{
if (wex.Response != null)
{
using (var errorResponse = (HttpWebResponse)wex.Response)
{
using (var reader = new StreamReader(errorResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
string errorString = reader.ReadToEnd();
dynamic respJson = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(errorString);
Console.WriteLine(respJson.toString());
//TODO: use JSON.net to parse this string and look at the error message
}
}
}
}
return embedToken;
}
}
}On line:
using (Stream writer = request.GetRequestStream())
program thinks for approximately 30 seconds and then goes to catch block.
In catch block if statement is false (so, Response == null) and program just goes out from catch.
That's all.
I still don't understant why it happens because I just use this guide for POST requests (https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/mt784614.aspx). And it's up to date (Updated: July 21, 2017), so, I don't understand.
I'll appresiate any help.
