I am looking to generate an access token that I can then utilize to edit/create datasets and reports in the power bi service. I came across this link but after attempting to use it I am getting the below error messages I am having problems resolving.
Can someone point me in the correct direction? Below is the code I've attempted to use and the error messages I am receiving.
using System;
using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory;
namespace walkthrough_push_data
{
class Program
{
private static string token = string.Empty;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Get an authentication access token
token = GetToken();
}
private static async Task<string> GetToken()
{
string clientID = "{Client_ID}"; // The client id that Azure AD created when you registered your client app.
string redirectUri = "https://login.live.com/oauth20_desktop.srf"; // RedirectUri you used when you register your app.
string resourceUri = "https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api"; // Resource Uri for Power BI API
string authorityUri = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/"; // OAuth2 authority Uri
AuthenticationContext authContext = new AuthenticationContext(authorityUri);
var result = await authContext.AcquireTokenAsync(resourceUri, clientID, new Uri(redirectUri));
Console.WriteLine(result.AccessToken);
Console.ReadLine();
return result.AccessToken;
}
}
}
