Hi @Anonymous ,

Your calling url should be "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/GenerateToken" and dataset and report id should be contained in body.

You can try this  in Embed Token - Generate Token - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn

I missed out few headers, maybe that's the reason why i got the error.
