This speaks of "multiple translations." What I would really like are APIs to critical editions of the Greek New Testament, Septuagint, Hebrew Bible, Peshitta, Vulgate, etc. I'm not holding my breath; those are all under copyright, as I understand it, and they aren't cheap when added onto the major bible software packages. I know of at least one public domain edition of the Byzantine majority text of the Greek NT: https://newchristianbiblestudy.org/bible/greek-byzantine-2000/ https://newchristianbiblestudy.org/bible/greek-byzantine-200... (not sure if that's the official page) Edit: I suppose I could create my own API for that one!

For the Hebrew Bible, I recommend Sefaria: https://www.sefaria.org/texts https://www.sefaria.org/texts

The SBL GNT is a freely-distributable version of the Greek NT with a decent apparatus (think UBS, not NA): https://sblgnt.com/download/ https://sblgnt.com/download/

  You know, I had sort of forgotten all about this edition. I notice that the public-domain Robinson edition I mentioned was one of the source texts. And the XML is pretty amazing. Every token is tagged!

I don't know anything about the non-Jewish sources, but Sefaria makes basically everything available via an API, no idea if it's free or not. A tonne of their code is available on GitHub as well. * https://github.com/Sefaria/Sefaria-Project/wiki/API-Documentation https://github.com/Sefaria/Sefaria-Project/wiki/API-Document... * https://github.com/Sefaria/ https://github.com/Sefaria/

If you think it would be helpful, I can add it to the list of translations on the site as well.
