Is there a way using power bi rest API in node js, I watched video ,Ran Breuer and Arina Hantsis were showing the demo here,Setting up and Getting Started with Power BI Embedded I want to achieve same but using node js, in our development environment we do not use c#. I found the Node SDK but it saying we no longer support node SDK,Node SDK
Do I have to change development structure from Node js to c# in order to use power bi Rest API!!
If you want to achieve same, what Ran Breuer and Arina Hantsis demonstrate in there video!
you can use these codes...
after reading the documentation, I come up with this solution it took me 5 days to figure out, anyway I am posting here so everyone can have easy access to codes.
**AppOwnData Power bi embedded reports **
Controller.js
const request = require('request');
const getAccessToken = function () {
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
const url = 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/token';
const username = ''; // Username of PowerBI "pro" account - stored in config
const password = ''; // Password of PowerBI "pro" account - stored in config
const clientId = ''; // Applicaton ID of app registered via Azure Active Directory - stored in config
const headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
};
const formData = {
grant_type: 'password',
client_id: clientId,
resource: 'https://analysis.windows.net/powerbi/api',
scope: 'openid',
username: username,
password: password
};
request.post({
url: url,
form: formData,
headers: headers
}, function (err, result, body) {
if (err) return reject(err);
const bodyObj = JSON.parse(body);
resolve(bodyObj.access_token);
});
});
};
const getReportEmbedToken = function (accessToken, groupId, reportId) {
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
const url = 'https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/' + groupId + '/reports/' + reportId + '/GenerateToken';
const headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + accessToken
};
const formData = {
'accessLevel': 'view'
};
request.post({
url: url,
form: formData,
headers: headers
}, function (err, result, body) {
if (err) return reject(err);
const bodyObj = JSON.parse(body);
resolve(bodyObj.token);
});
});
};
module.exports = {
embedReport: function (req, res) {
getAccessToken().then(function (accessToken) {
getReportEmbedToken(accessToken, req.params.groupId, req.params.reportId).then(function (embedToken) {
res.render('index', {
reportId: req.params.dashboardId,
embedToken,
embedUrl: 'https://app.powerbi.com/reportEmbed?reportId=' + req.params.reportId + '&groupId=' + req.params.groupId
});
}).catch(function (err) {
res.send(500, err);
});
}).catch(function (err) {
res.send(500, err);
});
}
};
Your router index.js
const express = require('express'),
router = express.Router(),
mainCtrl = require('../controllers/MainController');
router.get('/report/:groupId/:reportId', mainCtrl.embedReport);
module.exports = router;
index.ejs or what ever you like

const config = {

embedUrl: '<%- embedUrl %>',
id: '<%- reportId %>'
};
// Get a reference to the embedded dashboard HTML element
const reportContainer = $('#reportContainer')[0];
// Embed the dashboard and display it within the div container.
powerbi.embed(reportContainer, config);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Finally Enjoy
localhost:4000/report/put your group id here / put you report id here
I used @Joyo Waseem codes and successfully embedded the report, then I give a try to embed Dashboard and it works too, I decided to post my codes here so anyone who tries to embed Dashboard can use these codes.

@Jo Joy what is the seen you should know .
https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-Node/issues/40
It about priorities these company decide in which project they do .
They can response very well about this. But as far as discussion there are no such plan to do so . You can access api before feb 2017 .
If newer api you have to try it for your . May be you folk it . We as commundity will contribute .
They no longer support the Node SDK, but have you tried it? It might still be working. You are gonna want some sort of SDK - it seems that is not the easiest API to work with.
