How to get the correct authorization token
Hi
I am trying to design a simple web app which can use power BI REST API to refresh a dataset.
But I stuck on how to get the authorization token from Azure Directory.
I tried to use POSTMAN and get a token but it return "401 unauthorize error" when I try to refresh the dataset.
But if I use the token I get from microsoft try it link (Datasets - Refresh Dataset - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Docs ), it works.
Is there anybody here can help on how to get the correct authorization token?
Thanks

When you acquire an access token, you must request a permission scope of Dataset.ReadWrite.All.
