This is to interact with the BibleSearch API from the American Bible Society.
As of May 19, 2013, Bible API Thing is compatible with v2 of the BibleSearch API.
BibleApi.rb is the main class - it contains the logic necessary to call the BibleSearch API and retrieve verses.
get-tms.rb
- Retrieves verses for the Topical Memory System
get-verses.rb
- Reads in a list of verse references from a file and prints them to the screen. This can be handy for getting a list of verses and outputting them to a file.
Currently, verses can either be output to the screen or to MongoDB. I'm looking at ways to make the database part of these tools more modular.
I create packs with a list of verses I want to retrieve. The script checks for the presence of the pack in my MongoDB instance. If it's there, I use it; otherwise, I make the call to the BibleSearch API and store it locally. Note: Bible API has restrictions around storage of data -- please abide by these rules, and include appropriate copyright and usage tracking information in your website if you use data from the API.
The Gemfile will always have the current list, but here are a few.
To install bundler, run gem install bundle. Once you have done this, you can run bundle install to install all gem dependencies for this library.
