Workflow name
Fetch scriptures dynamically from get Bible API
Overview

The Get Bible Query Workflow is a modular and self-standing workflow designed to retrieve scriptures dynamically based on structured input. It serves as an intermediary layer that extracts references, queries the GetBible API, and returns scriptures in a standardized JSON format.

This workflow is fully prepared for integration—simply call it from another workflow with the required JSON input, and it will return the requested scripture data.


Who Is This For?

This workflow is ideal for developers, Bible study apps, research tools, and dynamic scripture-based projects that need seamless access to scriptural content without direct API interaction.

Use Cases:

  • Bible Study Apps → Embed scripture retrieval functionality.
  • Research & Theology Tools → Fetch structured verse data.
  • Dynamic Content Generation → Integrate real-time scripture references.
  • Sermon Preparation → Automate scripture lookups.

How It Works

  1. Trigger Workflow → This workflow is designed to be called from another workflow with a structured JSON input.
  2. Receive Input → Accepts a JSON object containing references, translation, and API version.
  3. Extract References → Parses single verses, comma-separated lists, and ranged passages.
  4. Query API → Sends structured requests to the GetBible API.
  5. Format Response → Returns structured JSON output, maintaining API response consistency.

JSON Input Structure

  • References → Should include the book name, chapter, and verse(s).
  • Multiple Verses → Separated by commas (e.g., John 3:16,18).
  • Verse Ranges → Defined with a dash (e.g., John 3:16-18).
  • Translation → Choose from the supported translations.
  • API Version → Currently supports v2.

Example JSON Input

{
  "references": [
    "1 John 3:16",
    "Jn 3:16",
    "James 3:16",
    "Rom 3:16"
  ],
  "translation": "kjv",
  "version": "v2"
}

Example API Response

{
  "result": {
    "kjv_62_3": {
      "translation": "King James Version",
      "abbreviation": "kjv",
      "book_name": "1 John",
      "chapter": 3,
      "ref": ["1 John 3:16"],
      "verses": [
        {
          "chapter": 3,
          "verse": 16,
          "name": "1 John 3:16",
          "text": "Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

💡 Fully structured and formatted response – ready for seamless integration.


Integration and Usage

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/2818/2818.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
