    Hi yangty152 ,

     

    The error is that the URL(https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/token/) you entered only accepts POST, OPTIONS requests. But has received a GET request.

    Refer to the syntax posted in this thread:

     //Resource Uri for Power BI API
                string resourceUri = "https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api";
    
                //OAuth2 authority Uri
                string authorityUri = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/";
    
                //Get access token:
                // To call a Power BI REST operation, create an instance of AuthenticationContext and call AcquireToken
                // AuthenticationContext is part of the Active Directory Authentication Library NuGet package
                // To install the Active Directory Authentication Library NuGet package in Visual Studio,
                //  run "Install-Package Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory" from the nuget Package Manager Console.
    
                // AcquireToken will acquire an Azure access token
                // Call AcquireToken to get an Azure token from Azure Active Directory token issuance endpoint
                AuthenticationContext authContext = new AuthenticationContext(authorityUri);
                var token = authContext.AcquireTokenAsync(resourceUri, clientID, new Uri(redirectUri)).Result.AccessToken;
