For developers

Developers

Add Scripture, original languages, lexicons, and commentary to your app with one modern API — Bible knowledge infrastructure for AI, study, and faith tools.

Explore the API

1,400+ translations. Audio narration. Hebrew and Greek down to the word. Strong's numbers, dictionaries, commentaries, a cross-reference graph, maps, illustrations, genealogies, reading plans, devotionals, and topics.

Scripture + technology

Technology helps more people encounter Scripture.

The Bible has never been more accessible, yet there is still enormous room to make it easier to read, study, understand, connect, and build with. IQ Bible works at that intersection of Scripture and technology — a company and ministry built for the Great Commission.

For developers

Scripture becomes infrastructure.

Give your application access to the Bible without assembling the data layer from a dozen sources first. IQ Bible API is the Bible knowledge infrastructure a serious study, sermon-prep, or AI product is built on.

Built to be explored.

The community should be able to see how biblical technology works, contribute to it, and build on it. The IQ Bible app is open source and runs entirely on the public API.

What we believe

The technology should serve the mission.

01

Scripture first.

Technology is the means, not the message. Everything begins with God's Word.

02

Open by design.

Useful biblical technology should be accessible, transparent, and built to benefit more than a single platform.

03

Build what's next.

New technologies create new ways to encounter Scripture. We want to help build them.
