Reviewed against the project documentation on 29 September 2026. Examples target PBIXRay 0.15.5.
PBIXRay is an open-source Python library for reading the semantic model inside a Power BI .pbix file. It lets you inspect that model on a Mac without running Power BI Desktop or connecting to an Analysis Services server. Parsing happens locally; installing the package requires downloading it first.
