How to embed some Power BI Tiles in a Rails App?
Carefully?
Seriously though, seems like this article should get you there:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/intro-pbi-js-api/
I believe a prerequisite to this is Power BI Embedded although I may be confused on that point.

I used this walkthrough when I did it:

Thank you for your answer.
Carefully? Yes :-)
Well, the JS API is not what I'm struggling with. It's the last thing to check on my todo. And I don't want to create a .Net project, but a Rails one. The basic process are the same, I understand that.
Here's a bunch of questions, thank you for your expertise & advices :
#1
Do I need to register an application for Power BI with https://dev.powerbi.com/apps?type=web ?
(I've already done that)
#2
Do I need to create an ActiveDirectory (and a Azure User) ? Then add an application wich authorize Power BI Service?
(I've already done that)
#3
Do I need to create a Workspace for Power BI Embedded here https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.PowerBI ?
To me it seems there's to many ways to implement Power BI Embedded in a web app. I am lost.
Thank you
My understanding of the process and how I have gotten it to work, yes, you need to do #3. The sample application walkthrough provides a .NET command-line application and instructions for registering your Power BI Embedded instance and setting up and configuring it, etc. At least, that's what I remember.
Ok, so you never had to follow that walkthrough?

Nor that one?
