Power BI embed error 403 forbidden error from server

I'm following the steps mentioned in the power BI community here and testing it out in Postman and have completed first 4 steps. However on testing the embed code in Microsoft Power BI Embedded Playground, i keep getting following error :

{
  "message": "LoadReportFailed",
  "detailedMessage": "Fail to initialize - Could not resolve cluster",
  "errorCode": "403",
  "level": 6,
  "technicalDetails": {
    "requestId": "57679585-022b-4871-ae6d-bb722d4a07cc"
  }
}

Also, when trying the alternative, HTML setup provided in STEP 5, i again keep getting 403 error stating : "GET https://wabi-india-west-redirect.analysis.windows.net/powerbi/globalservice/v201606/clusterdetails 403 (Forbidden)"

Please help. I've been trying to get this thing to work for over a week now.

Solution

  • It turns out that though i had workspace ID, client ID, report ID and though i was making proper calls to the API, the error in the fifth step was because i was a member of the the workspace where my reports were.

    For API to work, you need to be the admin of the workspace from which you are trying to get the reports
