Search by Keyword or reference

Gets search results for a given bibleId and query string. Searches will match all verses with the list of keywords provided in the query string. Order of the keywords does not matter. However all keywords must be present in a verse for it to be considered a match. The total number of results returned from a search can be limited by populating the limit attribute in the query string with a non-negative integer value. If no limit value is provide a default of 10 is used. offset can be used to traverse paginated results. So for example if you are using the default limit of 10, using an offset of 10 will return the second page of results, namely results 11-20. The text property of each verse object contains only the verse text. It does not contain footnote references. However, those can be queried directly using the /bibles/{bibleId}/verses/{verseId} endpoint.

// Id of Bible whose Chapter to fetch
const bibleId = 'de4e12af7f28f599-01';

  // Offset for search results. Used to paginate results
  offset: 0
