Getting error when calling Power BI API Operation returned an invalid status code 'Forbidden'

Hello,

 

I am using Power BI c# SDK to export Power BI report in PDF. I am getting error as "Operation returned an invalid status code 'Forbidden'".  I have setup app registration in Azure Active Directory and assigned the required permissions. I am using Power BI PRO license.

Below is the code:

IConfidentialClientApplication app = ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder
.Create(clientId)
.WithClientSecret(clientSecret)
.WithAuthority(new Uri(authority))
.Build();

string[] scopes = new string[] { $"{resource}/.default" };

AuthenticationResult result = null;

result = app.AcquireTokenForClient(scopes).ExecuteAsync().Result;
var tokenCredentials = new TokenCredentials(result.AccessToken, "Bearer");

var client = new PowerBIClient(new Uri("https://api.powerbi.com"), tokenCredentials);


FileFormat ExportFileFormat = FileFormat.PDF;

List<ExportFilter> eFilter = new List<ExportFilter>() {
new ExportFilter { Filter = "xxxxx=xxxxxx" }
};
var options = new ExportReportRequest
{
Format = ExportFileFormat
};
Guid ReportID = new Guid("xxxxxxx");
var exportResult = client.Reports.ExportToFile(ReportID, options);

 

 

Please help.
