Microsoft EmployeeHow to use Power BI Rest API without GUI authentication (redirect uri)
You can use the user name and password flow that AAD supports. This 3rd party client library has an example: https://github.com/Vtek/PowerBI.Api.Client
Advocate IHi vijaybkodare I have tried this using Postman and I'm getting the following error:

Advocate II just found the problem, the grant type needs to be "client_credentials" not "password"
- jstearnes
I just realised that using the "client_credentials" grant type may not be suitable as the username and password parameters are not used. I switched back to using the "password" grant type but I also had to login to my Azure AD -> Registered Apps -> <App Name> -> All Settings -> Required Permissions and then click the "Grant Permissions" button
- Hi there,
Pleased you got it working! Yes you do need to set the correct permissions in the Azure AD app. I did mention it in my post but obviously I wasn't clear enough!! Thank you for explaining it! I'm sure it will help someone! :)
