Getting Started

Let's get right into it! The Bible API is structured as a set of JSON files that are available for download from the internet.

Using these files, you can get a list of available translations, the list of books for a particular translation, the list of chapters for a particular book, and the content for each chapter.

These files are available at the following paths:

  • https://bible.helloao.org/api/available_translations.json
  • https://bible.helloao.org/api/{translation}/books.json
  • https://bible.helloao.org/api/{translation}/{book}/{chapter}.json
  • https://bible.helloao.org/api/available_commentaries.json
  • https://bible.helloao.org/api/c/{commentary}/books.json
  • https://bible.helloao.org/api/c/{commentary}/{book}/{chapter}.json

For more information about each endpoint, see the next page.
