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

[JackSprat]

We are trying to embed a report in our application.

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.

Hi @JackSprat,

How do you embed the Power BI report in a web application? 

The available method is to add a querystring parameter of ?rs:Embed=true at the end of report URL. For more information, see: Quickstart: Embed a report using an iFrame. 

Best Regards,

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