it would be very useful to have API's so one could programmatically examine, build, or modify both DAX models & measures, as well as UI elements/visuals.
This would be comparable to "reflection" style coding one would do in environments like C# or MS Access, where one might write code to loop through all the properties in all your classes looking for something, or looping through all the properties in all the controls in all your forms.
These API's obviously exist, as that's what Power BI desktop UI interacts with when the user is building out a model and visuals, I would like to access those same models programmatically.

We have a very large model (350+) sources and making changes to it is very painful (slow) using PowerBI desktop. We would like to be able to programmatically add, remove, and edit queries in the data model so we can automate management and do bulk edits.
