What is the Team-BHP API?

The Team-BHP API exposes 7 endpoints covering India's largest automotive forum, returning structured data from forum categories, paginated thread posts, automotive news listings, and member profiles. The get_thread endpoint retrieves every post in a thread — including author, date, and full text — while search_forum lets you query across threads or individual posts using any keyword or phrase.

Python SDK · recommended

Typed, relational, agent-ready

A generated client with real types, enums, and the links between objects — the structure a flat JSON response can't carry. Autocompletes in your editor and reads cleanly to coding agents.

  • Fully typed · autocompletes
  • Objects link to objects
  • Typed errors & pagination

Typed Python client. Set up the SDK in your uv project, then pull this API’s typed client:

uv add parse-sdk
uv run parse init
uv run parse add --marketplace team-bhp-com-api

uv run parse add --marketplace pulls a pinned snapshot of this canonical API — it won’t change underneath you. To customize it, subscribe and swap to your own copy.

About the Team-BHP API

Forum Structure and Thread Data

The get_forum_index endpoint returns the complete category hierarchy as an array of objects, each containing a category name and a forums array with per-forum name, slug, threads_count, and post count. From there, get_forum_category accepts a slug parameter (e.g. 'travelogues' or 'official-new-car-reviews') and returns paginated thread listings. Each thread object includes thread_id, thread_slug, title, author, replies, views, and url. The page parameter controls pagination across all listing endpoints.

Reading Threads and Searching

get_thread requires three parameters — thread_id, thread_slug, and category_slug — and returns an array of posts, each with post_id, author, content, and date, plus the thread's title. This makes it straightforward to reconstruct full discussion threads for analysis. The search_forum endpoint accepts a query string and an optional showposts flag: set it to 0 to match threads, or 1 to search individual posts. Results include category_slug, thread_id, thread_slug, title, and a search_id that identifies the search session.

News, Hot Threads, and Profiles

get_news_listing returns paginated automotive news articles with title, url, summary, and date. get_hot_threads returns Team-BHP's curated popular discussions list — no parameters required — as an array of objects with title and url. get_user_profile accepts a username and returns public member data including join date and total post count.

Reliability & maintenanceVerified

The Team-BHP API is a managed, monitored endpoint for team-bhp.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when team-bhp.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.

This isn't an official team-bhp.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.

Maintenance
Monitored & self-healing
Will this API break when the source site changes?+
It's built not to. Every endpoint is health-checked on a schedule with automated test probes. When the source site changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified — that's the self-healing layer. Each API page shows when its endpoints were last verified. And because marketplace APIs are shared, any fix reaches everyone using it.
Is this an official API from the source site?+
No — Parse APIs are independent, managed REST wrappers over publicly available data. That is the point: where a site has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a maintained, monitored endpoint for that data and keeps it working as the site changes — so you get a stable contract over a source that never promised one.
Can I fix or extend this API myself if I need a new endpoint or field?+
Yes — and you don't have to wait on us. This API was generated by the Parse agent, which stays attached. Describe the change in plain English ("add an endpoint that returns reviews", "fix the price field") in the revise box on the API page or via the revise_api MCP tool, and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes. Contributing the change back to the public API is free.
What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
Errors are machine-readable: a bad call returns a clean status with the list of available endpoints and a repair hint, so an agent (or you) can recover or trigger a fix instead of failing silently. Confirmed failures feed the automatic repair queue.
Common use cases
  • Aggregate Team-BHP ownership reports and long-term reviews by category slug for a car research tool.
  • Build a dataset of Indian automotive forum discussions using get_thread post content and dates for NLP or sentiment analysis.
  • Track trending vehicles by monitoring get_hot_threads title changes over time.
  • Index Team-BHP news articles via get_news_listing to power an automotive news aggregator for the Indian market.
  • Reconstruct full member discussion histories by combining get_user_profile post counts with search_forum author queries.
  • Map forum category activity by comparing threads_count across slugs returned by get_forum_index.
  • Power a travelogue discovery feature by querying the travelogues category slug through get_forum_category.

Frequently asked questions
Does Team-BHP have an official developer API?+
Team-BHP does not publish an official public developer API or documentation for programmatic access to its forum or news content.
What does `search_forum` return, and how does the `showposts` parameter change results?+
With showposts set to 0, results are matched at the thread level and each result includes thread_id, thread_slug, title, category_slug, and url. Setting showposts to 1 searches individual posts within threads. Both modes return a search_id string that identifies the session, which can be useful for paginating through result sets.
Does the API expose private messages, member reputation scores, or attachment files from posts?+
No. The API covers publicly visible data: forum categories, thread listings, post content (text), news articles, hot threads, and public member profile fields (username, join date, total posts). Private messages, reputation or thanks counts, and post attachments are not included. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add those fields if they become accessible from public profile or post pages.
Is there a limitation on how deep pagination goes for thread or category listings?+
The page parameter is available on get_forum_category, get_thread, search_forum, and get_news_listing, but extremely high page numbers on large threads or categories may return empty result arrays if the requested page exceeds the available content. Always check whether the returned posts or threads array is non-empty before incrementing the page counter.
Can I retrieve the full list of registered users or a member's post history directly?+
The API does not include a user directory endpoint or a per-user post history listing. get_user_profile returns public profile metadata for a known username. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a post-history endpoint if that data is available on the member's public profile page.
