They’ve taken a different approach to retrieving content - instead of a navigable resource hierarchy you send a citation that approximates the standard format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_citation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_citation
This matches one of the most common use cases for a Bible API: turning a citation into content.
It’s also worth scanning your content to find if there are characters that will break JSON serialization. For example, many translations distinguish supplied words by special characters: I’ve seen square and angle brackets used.
It’s not an easy domain to represent once you start handling special cases, but very worthwhile.
