riff-pbix

Parse Power BI .pbix files and generate a structured app plan.

Install

pip install riff-pbix

Quick start

import zipfile
from riff_pbix import (
    parse_report_layout,
    parse_data_model,
    parse_mashup,
    parse_connections,
    infer_model_from_references,
    build_lineage,
    generate_plan,
)

with zipfile.ZipFile("report.pbix") as z:
    layout = parse_report_layout(z)
    model = parse_data_model(z)
    mashup = parse_mashup(z)
    connections = parse_connections(z)

if not model or model.get("is_missing"):
    model = infer_model_from_references(layout.get("all_visuals_flat", []))

lineage = build_lineage(
    layout.get("all_visuals_flat", []),
    model,
    mashup.get("queries", []) if mashup else [],
)

analysis_result = {
    "filename": "report.pbix",
    "parsed_layout": layout,
    "parsed_model": model,
    "parsed_mashup": mashup,
    "connections": connections,
}

plan = generate_plan(analysis_result)
print(plan.json(indent=2))

CLI

Generate a plan JSON from a PBIX file:

riff-pbix path\to\report.pbix --pretty

Output the full analysis payload:

riff-pbix path\to\report.pbix --analysis --pretty

Write output to a file:

riff-pbix path\to\report.pbix --output report_plan.json --pretty

Notes

• The parser reads the PBIX as a zip archive and extracts Report/Layout, DataModelSchema, DataMashup, and Connections when present.
• If the model is missing, you can infer a lightweight model from visual usage.
