Error HTTP 401 using REST API

[NicoCz]

Hi, 

I try to use PowerBI REST API with Postman.

1- Obtain a token

POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/token

Body :

client_id=myClienID
&grant_type=client_credentials
&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fanalysis.windows.net%2Fpowerbi%2Fapi%2F.default
&client_secret=myClientSecret

2 - Response

{

    "token_type": "Bearer",

    "expires_in": 86399,

    "ext_expires_in": 86399,

    "access_token": "eyJ0e[...]CXlgQ"

}

3 - Request

GET https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/reports

Header field Authorization : Bearer eyJ0e[...]CXlgQ

Response : 401 Unauthorized

What's wrong ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

As far as I’m concerned, you should use the access token you got in the first two steps to use as the authorization to run the next requests you posted.

You should select the authorization type and put the authorization text here:

I also suggest you to go to the official document of the rest API to click on the “try it” to try the API before you run it in the Postman:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/reports/get-reports

Thank you very much!
