Is the groupid correct? Can you send the accesstoken in your case to me through a private message?

    Eric, in preparing to reply to you I finally discovered the problem.  In my C# code I was sending the HTTP request like this:

     

    HttpWebRequest request = CreatePowerBiApiRequest("groups/{groupId}/reports", accessToken);

    What I realized today is that I forgot the $ at the beginning of the string so that the string interpolation would occur.  It should have been like this:

    HttpWebRequest request = CreatePowerBiApiRequest($"groups/{groupId}/reports", accessToken);

    So the request was just statically sending the string "{groupId}" in the request instead of substituting in the actual group ID value.  Totally my bad! :smileyembarrassed:

     

    Thanks for your help!
