How to get metadata of Power BI Report/create documentation

I was looking at Power BI Helper, but it is just not enough. I would like to pull metadata of Power BI dashboards (used tables, DAX, M Query, Visual Screenshot etc. ) to create documentation about the report in automatic way. 

Anyone know how I could do it? I don't think REST API covers it. Is there a Pyhton library or can I use PowerShell ? 

It does not matter if it si pulled from desktop or from service.
