We invite you to use our Bible API!
We have made it easy to use and integrate into your own website or applications. We generously provide access to 7 Bible translations that are either in the public domain, or have very generous 'redistribution' policies. On this page, you will find all the directions you need to connect and start spreading The Word of God further. The default translation for endpoints is the King James Version(KJV). Endpoints for other translations have the translation in the URL.

The base URL for this API is:
