• 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.

The design allows for one translation at a time:

But with multiple scripture references:

The book name or book number must be in each reference.

Query API grouped verses like this:

or like this

or like this

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 quering 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.

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

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

• Complete Translation Retrieval: Retrive 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.

The design allows for one translation-book-chapter at a time:

• https://api.getbible.net/v2/[translation].json
• https://api.getbible.net/v2/[translation]/[book_number].json
• https://api.getbible.net/v2/[translation]/[book_number]/[chapter_number].json

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
