In this session, we go beyond UI-driven development and dive into extracting metadata across reports, semantic models, workspaces, tenant-level configurations.

Using PowerShell, REST APIs, and JSON parsing, you’ll learn how to programmatically access the underlying structure of Power BI and turn it into scalable solutions.

We’ll cover how to:

1. Extract metadata from reports, datasets, and workspaces using Power BI REST APIs
2. Automate metadata collection using PowerShell scripts
3. Parse and model JSON outputs of PBIX files into usable analytical solutions
4. Build governance, lineage, and monitoring solutions on top of metadata

By the end, you’ll be able to leverage Power BI metadata to build reusable tools, enforce governance, and unlock insights that the UI never exposes.
