Power BI Server (August 2017) web service returns 'unknown' when trying to getItemType

We are trying to embed a report in our application.

 

error

 

We expected it to return 'Report'.  

The item is a pbix report file, with a data connection to a SSAS tabular model.  The report displays fine on the 2017 August PIBServer.

      We are trying to avoid exposing the URL to an unauthenticated client.  But we did get it working using the method you referenced.

      We are trying to avoid exposing the URL to an unautenticated client.  But yes we can certainly get it working using this link.
