The Data

We believe biblical data should be portable. Our goal is to provide foundational, openly-licensed data structures so you can build better study tools without being tied to a vendor or an API.

What's in the dataset

300,000+ cross-references derived from the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge (TSK), restructured so each translation carries its own anchor phrases mapped to its own text and versification — phrase-level precision, without making the reader mentally translate from the KJV.

The data ships as tab-separated (TSV) files covering KJV, BSB, Segond 21, and the Afrikaanse Ou Vertaling. JSON files are included too. These contain not only the cross references data, but also the Bible texts (excluding Segond 21), in a minimal format from which everything can be easily reconstructed. Publication of SQL scripts for transformation and analysis of the JSON files are in the pipeline.

No API — by design

We don't host a central API for third-party apps. The data is yours to download and embed directly: your app keeps working even if our site goes down, and you can index and query it however you need.

The cross-reference data is released under CC BY 4.0 — use it freely, just credit the project. Translation texts remain under their own licenses; see the licensing page for details.
