Power BI Publish Report Fails with 400 Bad request (using Azure Blob Storage)

Question

I want to publish a Power BI report by using a Rest API and I am getting an error

RequestedFileIsEncryptedOrCorrupted error

These are the steps I followed

Request Data 

POST /v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/imports/createTemporaryUploadLocation HTTP/1.1
Host: api.powerbi.com
Authorization: Bearer {token}
User-Agent: PostmanRuntime/7.20.1
Accept: */*
Cache-Control: no-cache
Host: api.powerbi.com
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Content-Length: 0
Connection: keep-alive
cache-control: no-cache

Return

{
  "@odata.context": "",
  "url": "",
  "expirationTime": ""
}

The URL sends the following Request

PUT {url from step 1} HTTP/1.1
Host: wabieus2bppbiv2.blob.core.windows.net
x-ms-blob-type: BlockBlob
User-Agent: PostmanRuntime/7.20.1
Accept: */*
Cache-Control: no-cache
Host: wabieus2bppbiv2.blob.core.windows.net
Content-Type: multipart/form-data;
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Content-Length: 2057012
Connection: keep-alive
cache-control: no-cache

 

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="{local pbix file path here} 

Request responds 201

and I send publish report call

POST /v1.0/myorg/groups/{groupId}/imports?datasetDisplayName={name}& nameConflict=CreateOrOverwrite& skipReport=False HTTP/1.1
Host: api.powerbi.com
Content-Type: multipart/form-data;
cache-control: no-cache

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="fileUrl"
 

 and here I am getting an error

{
  "error": {
    "code": "RequestedFileIsEncryptedOrCorrupted",
    "pbi.error": {
      "code": "RequestedFileIsEncryptedOrCorrupted",
      "parameters": {},
      "details": [],
      "exceptionCulprit": 1
    }
  }
}

This kind of error occurs when we don't give authentication information in a proper format. Check the value of the authentication header
