1. I was able to genrate Accesstoken using : (Works in postman)
POST - https://login.microsoftonline.com/{{tenant_id}}/oauth2/token
Header:
Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Body:
grant_type: client_credentials
client_secret: {{client_secret}}
client_id: {{client_id}}
resource: https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api
(works fine)
2. Get EmbedToken (Does not work in postman):
I could get the EmbedToken using link below.
