Hi Team, I am using the Power BI trail account and wants to fetch the filtered Report content. But at the end I am getting long HTML reponse. Below is my Python Code. Please let me know where I am wrong here.

Below is the code-

import requests

def get_access_token(client_id, client_secret, username, password, scope, token_url):
data = {
'grant_type': 'password',
'client_id': client_id,
'client_secret': client_secret,
'username': username,
'password': password,
'scope': scope
}
response = requests.post(token_url, data=data)
print(response.text)
access_token = response.json().get('access_token')
print(access_token)
return access_token

def get_embed_token(access_token, report_id, filters, dataset_id, group_id):
url = f"https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{group_id}/reports/{report_id}/GenerateToken"
headers = {
'Authorization': f'Bearer {access_token}',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
body = {
'accessLevel': 'View',
'datasetId': dataset_id,
'filters': filters # Corrected to pass as a dictionary
}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=body)
print(response.text)
embed_token = response.json().get('token')
print(embed_token)
return embed_token

def fetch_report_data(emb_url, embed_token):
headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {embed_token}',
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}
response = requests.get(emb_url, headers=headers)
print(response.status_code)
print(emb_url)
report_data = response.text
#report_data =response.json()
return report_data

def main():
# Power BI credentials and parameters
client_id = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
client_secret = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
username = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
password = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
scope = 'https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api/.default'
token_url = 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/65df6efa-f78b-4336-9681-654c7fd66c53/oauth2/v2.0/token'
report_id = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
group_id = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
emb_url = f'https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId={report_id}&groupId={group_id}'
dataset_id = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

# Filters to apply
filters = {
'name': 'Id',
'operator': 'eq',
'value': '00018bcgypygtvgt15'
}

# Obtain access token
access_token = get_access_token(client_id, client_secret, username, password, scope, token_url)

# Get embed token
embed_token = get_embed_token(access_token, report_id, filters, dataset_id, group_id)

# Fetch report data
report_data = fetch_report_data(emb_url, embed_token)

print(report_data)

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()

Hi @Anonymous ,

You want to add filter on the page then export the report in format of pptx.

Maybe you can try add json in the body of this POST request. You can refer this article about REST API.

Reports - Export To File In Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Docs
