getBible Json API V2
Query API endpoint
QUERY API for individual/grouped verses
Together with our new release of the GetBible API V2, we are very excited to announce the release of the grouped verse Query API.
The QUERY API is now hosted on https://query.getbible.net/v2/kjv/1 John 3:16.
Why the Query API?
- Grouped Verses: Select specific verse groupings for targeted scriptural insights.
- Multi-Chapter Retrieval: Gather verses from a variety of chapters in one go.
- Single Translation Focus: Query verses from one Bible translation at a time.
- Performance Optimized: Fast and reliable responses, even for comprehensive queries.
- Simple Integration: Easy to implement with clear documentation, allowing for quick deployment in any project.
Query API Usage
The design allows for one translation at a time: https://query.getbible.net/v2/[translation]/[references]
But with multiple scripture references:
https://query.getbible.net/v2/kjv/John 3:16; 1 John 3:16; John 1:1
The book name or book number must be in each reference.
Various Verse Options
Query API grouped verses like this:
https://query.getbible.net/v2/kjv/John 3:16,17,18,19; 1 John 3:16-19,22
or like this
https://query.getbible.net/v2/kjv/John 3:16-19; 1 John3:16-19,22
or like this
https://query.getbible.net/v2/kjv/John 3:16-19; 1 John3:16-19; 1 John 3:22
More details
Give attention to spaces.
There can be spaces or not between the book name and chapter, as well as before the book name if it has a number like this:
https://query.getbible.net/v2/kjv/1John3:16-19
or this
https://query.getbible.net/v2/kjv/1 John 3:16-19
But when using the book number to reference the Bible book name, spaces are required:
https://query.getbible.net/v2/kjv/62 3:16-19
When querying multiple references: After semicolons, spaces are optional:
https://query.getbible.net/v2/kjv/John3:16,17;1John3:16-19,22
Remember: The verses you queried will return in the order of your query, even of the verses within a chapter.
https://query.getbible.net/v2/kjv/John 3:6; Genesis 1:27;John 1:3,2
Book Names
Use the book names found in the translation book list.
Each translation has its own book list as shown in the MAPPING HELPER area. Building queries with those names will work for each translation.
As a default, all the book names for the KJV works for all translations.
Examples:
-
Ancient Hebrew Books (OWN-NAMES): https://query.getbible.net/v2/codex/בְּרֵאשִׁית 1:26
-
Ancient Hebrew Books (KJV-NAMES): https://query.getbible.net/v2/codex/Genesis 1:26
-
Afrikaans Books (OWN-NAMES): https://query.getbible.net/v2/aov/Johannes 3:16-19;1 Johannes 3:16-19,22
-
Afrikaans Books (KJV-NAMES): https://query.getbible.net/v2/aov/John 3:16-19;1 John 3:16-19,22
Restrictions
When you want a whole chapter or book, this query API is not for you; use the Main API as explained below.
Like this: https://api.getbible.net/v2/kjv/66/3.json
Main API endpoint
Main API for complete translation, book, or chapter
The GetBible API is a robust and flexible interface designed to provide comprehensive access to many translations of the Bible. With the GetBible API, users can retrieve various portions of the Bible with ease, making it an ideal resource for developers, content creators, and educators who need full-scope access to biblical texts for their projects and platforms.
The MAIN API is hosted on https://api.getbible.net/v2/kjv/62/3.json.
Why the Main API?
- Complete Translation Retrieval: Retrieve a whole translation at once.
- Complete Book Retrieval: Retrieve a whole book in a selected translation at once.
- Complete Chapter Retrieval: Retrieve a whole chapter of a selected book and translation at once.
- Bulk Retrieval: This endpoint is made for fast bulk retrieval of the scripture.
Main API Usage
The design allows for one translation-book-chapter at a time:
https://api.getbible.net/v2/[translation].jsonhttps://api.getbible.net/v2/[translation]/[book_number].jsonhttps://api.getbible.net/v2/[translation]/[book_number]/[chapter_number].json
Restrictions
When you want selected verses of a chapter, this API is not what you are looking for; use the query API as explained above.
Like this: https://query.getbible.net/v2/kjv/John 3:16,17; 1 John 3:16-19,22
GET A Translation
For one translation:
GET A Book

- 1 Johannes 3: https://api.getbible.net/v2/aov/62/3.json
