Quickstart

Use a finite personal API token from your account’s Credentials settings. For a client acting on another person’s behalf, use registered OAuth with S256 PKCE and consent instead; see authentication.

Replace <token> in each header with your personal API token.

curl \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  https://api.bibleit.app/v1/me

This returns your identity and personal_account_id. Listing translations requires translation.list. You do not need to copy an account ID to try the translation catalogue:

curl \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
  https://api.bibleit.app/v1/translations

The catalogue lists available translation editions and their metadata. It does not grant access to scripture or enable translations in your library.

Next steps

To read your library, read scripture or list your Lives, use the personal_account_id returned by /me in the endpoint’s account path. Those resources require an account ID; the first requests above do not. Scripture reads also require a translation installed and enabled in your account and the translation.read scope.

Read retries and concurrency before writing resources and Live events for state updates. Shared workspace automation has a separate Organizations quickstart.
