You should never access the ReportServer database directly (apart from the execution log views) as it can cause issues with the operation of the Report Server. You can use the REST API (eg Power BI Reports - Get Power BI Report Data Sources - REST API (Power bi report) | Microsoft Learn) to extract information like the data source details.
