Get

/get returns Bible text when given a reference and a version.

Example: https://api.heb12.com/get?reference=Hebrews 4.12-13&version=web

Return example:

{
  "errors": [],
  "data": {
    "text": [
      {
        "version": "web",
        "language": "en",
        "reference": "Heb 4.12-13",
        "book": "Heb",
        "chapter": 4,
        "from": 12,
        "to": 13,
        "wholeChapter": false,
        "verses": [
          "For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.",
          "There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do."
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Quick Install

This is a basic installation guide (for a server).

Prerequisites:

• Go (version 1.11 or higher)
• git

Download the Gratis Bibles to a directory and choose the split Bible branch.

$ git clone https://github.com/gratis-bible/bible gratisbibles
$ cd gratisbibles
$ git checkout split

Next, download and build bibleget.

$ cd ~
$ git clone https://code.heb12.com/heb12/bibleget
$ cd bibleget
$ go build

Copy the example configuration to config.toml and edit Dir to the appropriate directory (see “Configuration” below)

$ cp example.config.toml config.toml
$ nano config.toml

Finally, run it.

$ screen # so you can detatch without killing it
(screen) $ ./api

Now bibleget will be running on port 5500 (or any other port you set in config.toml).

Configuration

The default config file is config.toml, but you can move it wherever if you change the configFile variable in main.go.

To change the port that bibleget uses, change 5500 in Port: 5500 to whatever port you want it to run on.

To change the Bible translation returned when the user doesn’t specify one, change Version: "web" to the translation you would prefer.

Make sure to change the value of Dir under Bible to where you downloaded the Gratis Bibles (without the trailing slash). If you followed the above installation instructions exactly, it should be ../gratisbibles. Blank quotes ("") means it uses the default Heb12 Gratis Bible directory (~/.local/share/heb12/gratis).
