Hi @pooneh_ce,

To embed a power bi report from report server in a application, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/quickstart-embed

@v-qiuyu-msft Thanks for your reply, but I don't want to use an iframe and access url, I want do the same thing that exists for  power bi on cloud( sample link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/integrate-report ). I think the new rest APIs for  power bi report server have the same functionality, It is true or not?

I tried to ask this question multiple times in this forum but I didn't get my answer till now.

I had read all documetation about new version of power bi report server and I found solutions like the one you mentioned, but my requirement is some thing else, I need to use rest APIs.

The API your using above is more equivalent to the ExportReport API in PowerBI as it will only download the PBIX file. We do support embedding the report as mentioned in the other reply but we don't currently have a javascript API to interacte with the embedded report, however it is something on our backlog. If you want to request the capability/feature you can post you idea here.

@mgmeyer, thnks for your reply. What about .net sdk(https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-CSharp/blob/master/README.md), can it help for powerbi report server?
