Power BI Server and REST calls by angular app
Hi everyone,
I installed an instance of Power BI Server with some reports on a computer and I can view the reports in embed version inside a web-app by adding the parameter "?rs:embed=true" to the report URL in a iframe. My PBI Server is installed with Evaluation License.
Can I use REST API to get reports from my Power BI Server? Note that my reports are on my Server and not on app.powerbi.com.
Can I get this functionality with an Evaluation for the moment or is the Premium license necessary to call my PBI Server via REST from my angular web-app?
Thanks in advance.
Best regard.

The simplest of the PBIRS API calls is as shown in the screenshot.
Here is the code if you want to invoke the same API call using PowerShell
$Cred = Get-Credential
$Url = "http://powerbi.local/Reports/api/v2.0/Me"
#Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'GET' -Uri $Url -UseDefaultCredentials -OutVariable UserContext
Invoke-RestMethod -Method 'GET' -Uri $Url -Credential $Cred -OutVariable UserContext
echo $UserContextHere is the list of PBI RS APIs that you can play with.
Please accept the solution, if you agree.
Cheers,

There is no functional difference between evaluation edition and full enterprise, aside from a timebomb and licensing rules. You can use the evaluation edition for purposes of dev/test and demo's. Running it in any production evironment will require the appropriate SQL enterprise core or PowerBI premium licenses.
Thank you for your reply!
So, how can I obtain the embedded token for my REST calls to PBI Server? I tried to implement a REST call from an Angular app but I didn't know the correct way to get this token.
My reports are published on a PBI Server instead of PBI Services (app.powerbi.com).
Thank you!
Best regards.
