Power Bi access token

Hello there,


I need to generate a token for embedding power bi report, but i am not using power bi embed for this and I wont be performing authorization. 

since its not power bi embed,

 

var embedToken = PowerBIToken.CreateReportEmbedToken(this.workspaceCollection, this.workspaceId, report.Id,"username",new string[] { "role1", "role2", "role3" });

 

isnt helping.

 

how do i go abt this, I got the embed url for the report but a valid access token is a must.

 

Thanks in advance

To get a valid access token to embed reports from Power BI Service, you could see such a repo in github.

You can also see this thread.

perfect !
Thats exactly what i figured out later !
Thanks @Eric_Zhang

I went on a step further and created a page where i perform the oauth just once if there is a redeployment and then access_token and refresh_token takes care of everything else !
