Shepherd Bible API

com.simplecohortllc.bible/shepherd-bible-api

Gives you programmatic access to Bible content through the Shepherd Bible API. You get tools to fetch different translations, navigate by book, chapter, and verse, and search across the text. Reach for this when you're building faith-based applications, adding scriptural reference to chatbots, or need to query Bible passages without managing the dataset yourself. It's hosted remotely at simplecohortllc.com and uses streamable HTTP transport, so there's no local setup required. Straightforward option if your project needs structured access to biblical text without reinventing the wheel.
