}About the econtent.msbte.edu.in API
The MSBTE E-Content API provides structured access to Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education's learning platform across 11 endpoints, covering programs, semesters, courses, course outcomes, and downloadable learning materials. The get_learning_materials endpoint returns file objects with direct download URLs, content descriptions, and file types, filtered by program code, semester, subject code, course outcome index, and content type.
Program and Course Structure
The API exposes the full MSBTE curriculum hierarchy. get_programs returns all available technical diploma programs as an array of objects with a two-letter code and full name. From there, get_semesters_by_program accepts a program_code (e.g. CO for Computer Engineering, ME for Mechanical) and returns the semesters available for that program as value and label pairs. get_courses_by_program_and_semester then resolves to a list of subjects with course_code and course_name for a given program-semester combination.
Course Outcomes and Learning Materials
get_course_outcomes accepts a semester, program_code, and subject_code and returns an array of course outcome objects, each with an id (index number) and text (outcome description). These outcome indices feed directly into get_content_types, which returns the available content categories for a subject-outcome pair as single-letter code values with display label strings. get_learning_materials then pulls actual e-content files: each material object includes a content description and a nested file object containing filename, file_type, and a direct url.
Search and Bilingual Content
search_learning_materials_by_keyword enables keyword search (e.g. java, inheritance) within a specific course. The co_index and content_type parameters are optional, so omitting them broadens the search across all outcomes and content types. The get_marathi_econtent_list endpoint returns bilingual Marathi-English materials grouped by engineering discipline, with fields for group, semester, course_code, title, and file_url. An optional scheme parameter accepts I (I-Scheme, current 22xxx course codes) or K (K-Scheme, older 31xxxx codes).
Curriculum Portal for Odd Semesters
get_135_semester_programs and get_135_semester_courses target a separate curriculum portal covering odd semesters (1, 3, 5). These endpoints return program lists and course listings respectively, though coverage is noted as limited — some program-semester combinations may return empty results. The get_marathi_econtent_file endpoint resolves a file name from the Marathi content list to a direct PDF URL, with no server-side validation of file existence.
- Build a diploma curriculum browser showing programs, semesters, and subject lists using
get_programsandget_courses_by_program_and_semester. - Create a study resource finder that retrieves downloadable PDFs and videos via
get_learning_materialsfiltered by content type and course outcome. - Index MSBTE course outcomes for a learning management system using
get_course_outcomesacross all programs and semesters. - Implement keyword-based material search within a subject using
search_learning_materials_by_keywordwith optional CO and content type filters. - Aggregate bilingual Marathi-English course content by discipline and scheme using
get_marathi_econtent_listwith theschemeparameter. - Map curriculum coverage gaps by iterating
get_135_semester_coursesacross programs for odd semesters. - Generate subject-level content type availability reports by combining
get_content_typesoutput across multiple courses.

Does MSBTE provide an official developer API for econtent.msbte.edu.in?+
What does `get_learning_materials` return, and how do I narrow the results?+
get_learning_materials returns an array of material objects, each with a content description and a file object containing filename, file_type, and a direct download url. You narrow results by providing all five required parameters: co_index, semester, content_type, program_code, and subject_code. To retrieve materials across multiple content types or course outcomes, call the endpoint once per combination.Does the API cover even semesters (2, 4, 6) through the curriculum portal endpoints?+
get_135_semester_programs and get_135_semester_courses endpoints only accept odd semester values (1, 3, 5). Even semesters are not covered by those endpoints. The main get_courses_by_program_and_semester endpoint does handle even semesters via the standard program-semester flow. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add a dedicated even-semester curriculum portal endpoint if that data surface exists on the site.Does `get_marathi_econtent_file` confirm whether a file actually exists?+
file_name parameter without validating that the file is present on the server. You should use file names sourced from get_marathi_econtent_list to minimize broken links. There is no status field in the response indicating file availability.
