Operation returned an invalid status code 'Forbidden while executing ExportToFileInGroupAsync

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/export-to

 

By using the above document link, i tried to export a power bi report from an application using this code in .net core framework.


var powerBIReportExportConfiguration = new PowerBIReportExportConfiguration
{
Settings = new ExportReportSettings
{
Locale = "en-us",
},
Pages = pageNames?.Select(pn => new ExportReportPage(pageName = pn)).ToList(),
};
var exportRequest = new ExportReportRequest
{
Format = format,
PowerBIReportConfiguration = powerBIReportExportConfiguration,
};

 

var url = XXX;
var content = new Dictionary<string, string>();
content["grant_type"] = "XXX";
content["resource"] = "XXX";
content["username"] = XXX;
content["password"] = XXX;
content["client_id"] = XXX;

var response = await APIHelper.MakeAsyncRequest(url, content);
var tokenresult = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
var OAuthResultModel = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<OAuthResultModel>(tokenresult);
var authenticationResult = OAuthResultModel;

var credentials = new TokenCredentials(authenticationResult.AccessToken, "Bearer");
var client = new PowerBIClient(credentials);
var reportsResult = await client.Reports.ExportToFileInGroupAsync(GroupID, ReportID, exportRequest);

While executing the last line, code break and through an exception, i.e.:

 

{"Operation returned an invalid status code 'Forbidden"}
