RcVAPI

an (unofficial) API for recoveryversion.org

returns verse text (only) for both OT and NT. support for footnotes and cross-references is not planned.

the official API can be found here: http://api.lsm.org/ and offers the same functionality, except it returns data in XML instead of JSON (and has different endpoints)

demo: rcvapi.herokuapp.com

Endpoints

Right now, the main goal is to support OSIS format, aiming at compatibility with openbibleinfo's Bible Passage Reference Parser, so the endpoints have been designed with that in mind. That being said, adding more endpoints is pretty trivial. Submit a pull request if you'd like to add an endpoint that would make your life easier.

• /v/[book]/[chapter]/[verse]

  example: http://rcvapi.herokuapp.com/v/john/3/16

  returns:

   {
   	request: "john3:16",
   	url: "http://online.recoveryversion.org/getScripture.asp?vinfo=john3:16",
   	verses: {
   		john.3.16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that every one who believes into Him would not perish, but would have eternal life."
   	}
   }
  

• /vv/[begbook]/[begchapter]/[begverse]/[endbook]/[endchapter]/[endverse]

  example: http://rcvapi.herokuapp.com/vv/2cor/3/16/2cor/3/18

  returns:

   {
   	request: "2cor3:16-2cor3:18",
   	url: "http://online.recoveryversion.org/getScripture.asp?vinfo=2cor3:16-2cor3:18",
   	verses: {
   		2cor.3.16: "But whenever their heart turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.",
   		2cor.3.17: "And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.",
   		2cor.3.18: "But we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit."
   	}
