}About the ibef.org API
The IBEF API provides structured access to India Brand Equity Foundation data across 9 endpoints, covering industry sector reports, state and Union Territory profiles, macroeconomic overviews, and the latest economy news. The get_industry_report endpoint returns detailed sections including market size, growth drivers, government initiatives, and investment data for any sector slug retrieved from get_industry_list.
Industry and State Reports
The get_industry_list endpoint returns every sector covered by IBEF as an array of objects with name, slug, and url fields. Pass any slug value to get_industry_report to retrieve a full sector report. The response includes a sections object with keys like snapshot, advantage_india, growth_drivers, government_initiatives, and market_size — each containing the structured text content for that section. Parallel endpoints get_states_list and get_state_report follow the same pattern for all Indian states and Union Territories, with get_state_report returning sections such as key_statistics, economic_scenario, and advantage_state.
Economy and Snapshot Data
get_economy_overview returns the Indian Economy Overview page as a title and content string covering GDP statistics and sector-wise economic data. get_india_snapshot returns the India at a Glance page as a structured sections array, where each item includes a heading, content, items, and paragraphs — covering geographic, demographic, political, and transportation quick facts. The response also includes a last_updated date string.
News and Search
get_news_list returns up to 10 articles per page (0-indexed page parameter), each with newsTitle, slugUrl, newsShortDesc, newsAuthor, and createdDate. Pass a slugUrl value to get_news_article to retrieve the full article content, date, and title. The search endpoint accepts a required query string and an optional page integer, returning an array of results with title, url, and description, plus a total_results count and pagination_html for navigating additional pages.

Does IBEF have an official developer API?+
What does get_industry_report actually return, and how granular is the data?+
sections object whose keys vary by industry but typically include snapshot, advantage_india, growth_drivers, government_initiatives, market_size, and investments. Each value is the text content from that section of the IBEF report. Not every section appears for every industry — availability depends on what IBEF has published for that slug.Does the news endpoint support filtering by category, industry, or date range?+
get_news_list supports only page for pagination and returns the latest articles in publication order. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add filtering parameters targeting specific news categories or date ranges.Are historical versions of industry reports or archived pages accessible?+
How does pagination work across endpoints that support it?+
get_news_list and search both accept a 0-indexed page integer. Both return a pagination or pagination_html field containing HTML navigation markup alongside the result array. total_results on search reflects the count for the current page, not the full corpus count, so iterate pages until the result array is empty to determine full coverage.
