Open Scripture for a digital world.

For centuries, the Church freely copied and shared the Word. Now, too much of Scripture online is locked down with usage or copyright restrictions.

That needs to change; we were made to love and share the Word—not fight legal red tape.

That’s why we created the Free Use Bible API.

It’s fast. Open.
Free to use—without tracking, rate limits, or legal worry.

Whether you're a developer, pastor, or digital creator, this is Scripture ready for your mission.
No accounts. No limits. No licensing headaches.

What You Can Do With It

The API gives you clean, RESTful access to over 1000+ Bible texts like the Berean Standard Bible—all translations that are freely available for open use.

Why We Built It

We didn’t start with an API. We started with Seed Bible — a modern, interactive web platform for the Word.

But most modern translations couldn’t be used the way the internet works—embedded, remixable, and shareable across platforms.

So we built the API we needed. And we’re sharing it with anyone building toward the same goal.
