If you're building a Bible app, fetch(bible) gives unrestricted access to freely available Bible translations — no API keys, no rate limits, and no registration.^1
Gracious Tech, a non-profit Christian company, maintains it as a digital Bible platform: a collection of publicly available translations, a CDN, and tools for integrating Scripture.^2 The collection includes 1,404 translations across 1,116 languages.^4 Developers can use a TypeScript client, embed the official web reader, or add a web enhancer that turns Bible references into hover previews and an in-page study view.^5 The project is open source under the MIT No Attribution license, so you can use, fork, or self-host it.^7
Jon Here founded Gracious Tech after mission work in south-east Asia. They hold Reformed Protestant beliefs: salvation by God's grace through faith in Christ, with the Bible as the ultimate authority. Every app is free — no cost, ads, signup, or tracking.^3
It excludes copyrighted commercial translations such as the ESV and NIV, and it limits the collection to the 66 books of the Protestant canon. Organizations with their own licenses can merge a custom collection with the public one.^8 Other products built on the platform include Paper Bible, Track Bible, TheWay, and Manna.^2
