REST API Generate access token

Hi Anonymous ,

If you want to use Postman, the request URL for a service principal must be https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantID}/oauth2/v2.0/token, but for a master user, it can be either https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantID}/oauth2/v2.0/token or https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/token.

For more details, please refer to this thread

Besides, here is a document about this, hope it could help you.

Hi Anonymous ,

Consuming Power BI content requires an access token. Depending on your solution, this token can be either an Azure AD token, an embed token, or both.

• Azure AD Token

For both embed for your customers and embed for your organization solutions, you need an Azure AD token. The Azure AD token is required for all REST API operations, and it expires after an hour.

• Embed Token

When you use the embed for your customers solution, your web app needs to know which Power BI content a user can access. Use the embed token REST APIs to generate an embed token, which specifies the following information:

•  The content your web app user can access
•  The web app user's access level (view, create, or edit)

If you are still confuse about it, here are some documents about token. Hope they could help you!
