It requires an accessToken when trying to access the API link. To get the datasets, you can use this GET API.

You'll have to set the authentication in the request Header. This app in my test is POSTMAN.

To get an accessToken for testing purpose in a quick way, follow below steps.

1. Login in Power BI service.

2. Open Chome dev tool(F12), click on any network request and find a token.

To get the accessToken in a console application, you can reference GetAccessToken function this sample .
