403 Forbidden when api call

I am calling "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{0}/reports/{1}/ExportTo" Api in my mvc application.

 

HttpWebRequest request = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.CreateHttp(string.Format("https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{0}/reports/{1}/ExportTo", workspaceId,reportId1));

request.KeepAlive = true;
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/json";

//Add token to the request header
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", String.Format("Bearer {0}", token));

using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
{
string json = "{\"format\":\"PDF\"}";

streamWriter.Write(json);
}

var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

Here i was getting access token like this,

string result = authContext.AcquireTokenAsync(resourceUriPowerBi, clientCredential).Result.AccessToken;

after this I got the error

{"error":{"code":"InvalidRequest","message":"Export report requires effective identity to be provided for the report's dataset"}}

 

then I write a code to get embed token by passing access level and identities i used at power bi desktop to use RLS like this,

string embedToken =
(await pbiClient.Reports.GenerateTokenInGroupAsync(workspaceId,
report.Id,
generateTokenRequestParameters)).Token;

 

Now I got the 403 forbidden error with no text.

Can anyone please help me to understand this why it is giving 403 error.

earlier i successfully called the refresh dataset api using access token got using client credential. 

Tahnks in advance.
