Error while executing Get App api call. 403 - "API is not accessible for application"

When making this api call https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/apps/{app id} using a service principal (SPN) we are getting the following error.

 

{
    "Message""API is not accessible for application"
}
 
We have granted the API permissions to our SPN.

Make sure you target a new workspace and not the default "My Workspace" and check you have assigned all relevant permissions.

 

See my blog hope it helps: https://blog.joshduxbury.co.uk/2021/04/22/import-data-into-power-bi-using-rest-logic-apps/
