How to get reports, dashboards and so on via API withouth service principal?

Hi guys,

i have a question when it comes to getting reports and so on via the Power BI API.

The documentation says "Limitations: Service principal authentication is not supported."

 

So how am i supposed to authenticate my application at the Power BI API?

 

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi @MarFis,

Have you tried to add tokens string to web connector(add to optional parameters header, query...) or use OAuth mode to access your REST API?

Pull data from a REST API Authentication 

The hidden gems of the function Web.Contents()
