403 When I try to get Datasets via POWERBI Service

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I am currently working on PowerBI integration. I have set-up an application and granted access to the PowerBI Service APIs.

But after getting the access token, I get a 403 when I try to call https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets

Here is my sample code:

String datasetJson = "{\"name\": \"Sales101\", \"tables\": " +
"[{\"name\": \"Product\", \"columns\": " +
"[{ \"name\": \"ProductID\", \"dataType\": \"Int64\"}, " +
"{ \"name\": \"Name\", \"dataType\": \"string\"}, " +
"{ \"name\": \"Category\", \"dataType\": \"string\"}," +
"{ \"name\": \"IsCompete\", \"dataType\": \"bool\"}," +
"{ \"name\": \"ManufacturedOn\", \"dataType\": \"DateTime\"}" +
"]}]}";


OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.followRedirects(false)
.build();
RequestBody formBody = RequestBody.create(MediaType.parse("application/json"), datasetJson);

Request request = new Request.Builder().addHeader("Authorization", String.format("Bearer {0}", accessToken))
.url("https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets")
.post(formBody)
.build();

Call call = client.newCall(request);
okhttp3.Response response = call.execute();

Please note that my access token seem to have the right permissions. Please see below excerpt when I decoded my JWT:

"scp": "App.Read.All Capacity.Read.All Capacity.ReadWrite.All Content.Create Dashboard.Read.All Dashboard.ReadWrite.All Dataflow.Read.All Dataflow.ReadWrite.All Dataset.Read.All Dataset.ReadWrite.All Gateway.Read.All Gateway.ReadWrite.All Report.Read.All Report.ReadWrite.All StorageAccount.Read.All StorageAccount.ReadWrite.All Tenant.Read.All Tenant.ReadWrite.All Workspace.Read.All Workspace.ReadWrite.All",

Also, please note that I am a normal PowerBI user. To use the APIs.. . I did the following:

- Created a new app with client Id and Secret

- Set-up the right permissions for APIs

I didn't do any changes on PowerBI... I assume the API permissions are enough?

Guidance is extremely appreciated.

this is resolved. The problem was with the String.format function I was using. The token wasn't being passed.

What happens when you do a dry run on the API website?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/getdatasets

click the "try it"  button.

Hi @lbendlin The dry run works and I am able to push the dataset. But, I think the Try button uses a predefined cllient and impersonator scope. I am not sure what is it that I am doing wrong
