Want to know about if any API exist to find graphic instancing in ifc file

Problem

We are using XBim lib to read ifc file in our product. I was wondering if there exist any API which will tell if a representation item is used by more than one IFCObject. E.g. In a IFC dataset, two IFCBeams can point to same IFCFACETEDBREP. If we get a list of entity labels (of representation item) which is used by more than one ifcelement it will help us to reduce the number of times we process same representation item.

Yes, just use xbim toolkit to browse the data from product to shapes and compare their references.
