    'grant_type':'password',
    'scope':'openid',
    'resource':'https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api',
    'client_id':'here id',
    'client_secret': 'here secret',

Hi @oflok000,

And to add to that post, everything about authentication using .NET should work just as well with the equivalent Python library adal - https://github.com/AzureAD/azure-activedirectory-library-for-python

According to this similar thread, you should be able to use the Python library adal to get the access token with Power BI Rest API. The sample code below is for your reference. Smiley Happy

import adal

authority_url = 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/testcompany.onmicrosoft.com'
context = adal.AuthenticationContext(
    authority_url,
    validate_authority=True,
    api_version=None
)

token = context.acquire_token_with_username_password(
    resource='https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api',
    username='john.doe@testcompany.onmicrosoft.com',
    password='secret',
    client_id='22a6fc5a-46fe-4f85-8168-281ece441742'
)

access_token = token['accessToken']

 

Regards
