Authentication

API.Bible allows any developer to include Scripture content and text anywhere in their website or application for non-commercial purposes.

Before you can access the API you must first create an Account to retrieve your own personalized API key. Head on over to our sign up page to get started.

Once your application has been approved you can find your API key in your Dashboard settings.

If at any point you need further assistance, please visit our support page!

Authenticate your account when using the API by including your secret API key in each request. You can manage your API keys your account's dashboard. Your API keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them private.

The authentication process uses a variation of HTTP Basic Auth. For each request you must place your private key into the api-key header

curl --request GET \\\n--url https://api.scripture.api.bible/v1/bibles \\\n--header 'api-key: test_okikJOvBiI2HlWgH4'"
