PowerBI API - Bad Response 400 - Python

Hi Members, 

 

I am using PowerBI API to pull admin related data like workspaces , reports , datasources, etc. I have used OAuth2 method to sign in and get the response in python. It was working till last week , but now script starts to throw - Response 400. 

 

My user works fine in power BI api Try it - focus mode. 

Any suggesstions on this ? I have tried to connect using service prinicipal method, but no luck .  

Do this have something to do with my power BI license . I have Pro license .

I didn't add the Service Principal as memeber to the security group . After adding that , the api response works fine with using Service Principal Method .

@lbendlin Thanks for your response. I have tried changing the scope (

'scope': 'https://api.powerbi.com') , still it gives 400 response. This will not create any access token to validate.

Check your token at jwt.io  - the scope "all" is most likely not accepted.
