Getting 403 Forbidden error While using Power BI REST APIs in Postman

[SunilEdupuganti]

I have downloaded the Power BI Postman collection and trying to call the Power BI APIs. But I am getting 403 Forbidden error. I am completely new to the Power BI APIs. 

Can anyone help me how to setup and call the Power BI APIs in the Postman?

Hi @Anonymous 

Thanks for the information.

I tried using "Configuring Postman for Use with the Power BI REST API" but I am unable to generate the access token. Could you please help me what I am missing here. I have created an App and gave the required permissions in my App. Kindly, check the attached screenshot.

Hi @SunilEdupuganti ,

Please check if you fill in the correct credential info in below screenshot:

&username=your@email.com
&password=yourpassword
&client_id=your client id from the Azure app you create above
&client_secret=your secret from the Azure app you created above

You can refer the following links to get the token:
