Calling embedUrl in browser hangs

I have retrieved a list of reports from the REST API - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt634543.aspx and I have tried using the embedUrl in my broswer but it just hangs, there are no network or console errors in Chrome dev tools. I am using Chrome Version 63.0.3239.132 (Official Build) (64-bit). Can anyone help?

Need Help

    Hi jstearnes,

     

    The embedUrl cannot be directly used in browser. You'll need to do some coding(js, C#, and so on) to consume the embedUrl for embedding. The sample code below is written with PowerBI-JavaScript api. You can refer this article for more details. :smileyhappy:

    // Get models. models contains enums that can be used.
var models = window['powerbi-client'].models;

var embedConfiguration = {
	type: 'report',
	id: '5dac7a4a-4452-46b3-99f6-a25915e0fe55',
	embedUrl: 'https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed',
	tokenType: models.TokenType.Embed,
	accessToken: 'h4...rf'
};

var $reportContainer = $('#reportContainer');
var report = powerbi.embed($reportContainer.get(0), embedConfiguration);

     

    Regards

      Hi v-ljerr-msft I am building a REST API using Java so I'm not using JavaScript. I need to return a URL to our client application that allows them to view the report without having to perform any additional steps

      Also, using the embedUrl on it's own should result in some sort of error, not in the browser hanging with no feedback
