Unable to get embed token for embeding reports
Hi, I have been finding issues in generating the embed token for javascript embeding of report. I have registered an app on Azure portal and got Client id and secret but unable to figure out what to do do next in order to get Embed token.

To get the embed token, you can reference the code in redirect.aspx.cs in the lib Users Owns Data in Github. You can download the whole C# project and open it in Visual Studio to play and test.
Alternatively in other language, you can call a POST API as below.
POST /common/oauth2/token HTTP/1.1 Host: login.windows.net Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Cache-Control: no-cache client_secret={your client secret}&client_id={your client id}&grant_type=password&resource=https%3A%2F%2Fanalysis.windows.net%2Fpowerbi%2Fapi&username={your Power BI account}&password={your Power BI password}

It sounds like you are trying to embed from the Power BI service, this forum is specific to Power BI On-Prem. You can post your question to the Power BI developer forum here:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/bd-p/Developer
They should be able to point you in the right direction.
