Designed with faith-based tech projects in mind, we built an all-in-one REST API that lets you tap into an indexed, curated set of 3,752 Bible verses, 1,790 sermon videos and 206 written commentaries.
Note: This is the v0.9 MVP as of Jan 31, 2022. The API is stable for the content it has. We're adding more content to the catalog.
