Awesome API! Suggestion for ease of access

[xXGoziXx]

Hi Glowstudent777,

Fellow Christian developer here. Thanks for making this. Have you considered making this an npm package that can be installed? There's also a platform called RapidAPI that lets you create an endpoint that people can use. Just a few suggestions that could make it easier to add this to projects :)

Hi, I do actually have a published NPM package.

Here are the links to them:

Sweet! I'll have a look at them.

It would be so cool if I could trigger an endpoint that highlighted certain verses. I have so many ideas haha. But yeah Youversion would have to make their own api that let's developers empower users with more features.

Like for example, if a user is viewing a verse online on some website, someone could make an extension that lets users click on the verse which shows a context menu that allows them to highlight/add a note to the verse in their Youversion bible, so they can look more into it later.

Hey men, fantastic API. I used it for my Homeassistant project, that gives me verse of the day in picture and in word. I adjusted the url for localize purpose as my native language is slovak. Maybe this could be an enhancement for this api. Thank you so much for that. God bless you.

Hi @Haluska77 ,

I will certainly look into this but from my understanding locales are done through versions. For example I believe NR06 is Italian. Here's an example of the version file that includes localized versions:

{
  "AMP": 1588,
  "ICL00D": 1196,
  "KJV": 1,
  "NIV": 111,
  "NLT": 116,
  "NR06": 122,
  "VULG": 823
}

If this isn't the case please respond with your modifications and I'll look into providing locales correctly.

Best Regards, Glow

I simply put location: https://www.bible.com/sk/verse-of-the-day Versions you provided are bible versions. But each location has some 'default' bible version. For my purpose and many others might be enough to have at least one local version.

Hi @Haluska77,

Thank you for the info, I'll get started on this soon. Is this the same or similar for verses or just the votd? I'll add SK to the locales and anymore you can think of.

Best Regards, Glow

In the following link https://www.bible.com/sk/bible/1/JHN.1.KJV There is sk localisation that makes your web in the sk language. But verse is written in the KJV bible version (code 1)

Resolved localization for VOTD in #8 / #9 (fixed tests for the original pr)
