Load the data into your model and save the file. Then look at the file size (.pbix) (compressed size).
You need to take the quality and compressibility of your data into account. There is a big difference across semantic models, and a big difference between disk size and memory size.
What are you ultimately trying to achieve?
This is the standard API formar to get the data size
https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{workspaceId}/datasets
Or you can use fabric capacity metric app to check the size of of your data models/semantic models.
