I don't find anything on accessing an pbix file programmatically. The released APIs are to access published reports in Power BI Services or Power BI embeded. You can sumbit your feedback on Power BI Ideas.

 

By the way, may I know why you have to access an pbix file programmatically?

Thank for your reply, because I want to change the data source without open pbix file with Power BI desktop application.

    So are you trying to implement any automation process?
