1. Getting http error 404 for authentication

https://login.windows.net/common.oauth2/authorize 

2. Getting http error 404 for

Hi @Anonymous,

I would suggest you have a look at these demos first. Related reference:

1. rest/api/power-bi/

2. PowerBI-CSharp SDK

3. power-bi/developer/overview-of-power-bi-rest-api

Regarding to the errors.

1. Seems the link is wrong. Reference: walkthrough-push-data-get-token.

authorityUri = "https://login.windows.net/common/oauth2/authorize" 

2. Did you register your application first? Reference: power-bi/developer/walkthrough-push-data-register-app-with-azure-ad

3. The Visual Studio could be the best choice. But it won't be the only choice. You can use a light editor like Visual Studio Code. For test purpose, the Postman is also helpful.

Best Regards,

Dale
