Hi All,
I am getting an error while executing the GenerateTokenInGroupAsync(). The error "Operation returned an invalid status code 'Forbidden'".
I had users using the system all day, and the late afternoon this just stopped working. I am using the following method to get the access token.
public static async Task<AccessToken> SetAccessToken()
{
List<KeyValuePair<string, string>> vals = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>
{
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("grant_type", "password"),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("scope", "openid"),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("resource", "https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api"),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("client_id", "XXXXX"),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("client_secret", "XXXXX"),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("username", "XXX"),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("password", "XXX")
};
string TenantId = "XXX";
string url = string.Format("https://login.windows.net/{0}/oauth2/token", TenantId);
HttpClient hc = new HttpClient();
HttpContent content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(vals);
HttpResponseMessage hrm = hc.PostAsync(url, content).Result;
string responseData = "";
if (hrm.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
Stream data = await hrm.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync();
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(data, Encoding.UTF8))
{
responseData = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
AccessToken token = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AccessToken>(responseData);
return token;
}I can retrieve the report details using client.Reports.GetReportInGroupAsync().
var report = await client.Reports.GetReportInGroupAsync(groupId, reportId, CancellationToken.None);
var generateTokenRequestParamaters = new GenerateTokenRequest(TokenAccessLevel.View, datasetId, allowSaveAs: null);
var tokenResponse = await client.Reports.GenerateTokenInGroupAsync(groupId, report.Id, generateTokenRequestParamaters, CancellationToken.None);The error occurs when executing the last line of code in the code above.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @v-micsh-msft,
Sorry for the late response, the reason I was getting the error was because my account ran out of free token requests. I had to switch on dedicated capacity in order to continue.

Hi. I'm having the same problem and I can't figure it out. I'm wondering if it's for the same reason as you. How would I check how many free token requests I have left?
Hi, I might have the same problem. Did you find a way to identify it? I mean, Any way to check the amount of token requests left?
I am also looking to find out the number of token requests left. Were you able to find it?
