I'm envisioning something like...

$ logos search nlt 'phil 1:9-11'


(9) I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. (10) For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return.  (11) May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ—for this will bring much glory and praise to God

$ logos list bibles

NLT

YLT

...

 

I'm wanting to integrate some of the logos outputs into my desktop using Geektool (http://projects.tynsoe.org/en/geektool/)

I probably could do some of this with curl/wget and biblia... but I'm just wondering if there is any pre-existing (developer?) way of doing this with current shipping releases.

Thanks,

    There's a biblia.com API that may do some of what you need. The docs are here: http://api.biblia.com/docs/.

    I have no idea what Geektool is, so be sure to read the terms of use before you start [:)].

    Darn - that's close - couple of quick tests and it almost gets me what I was looking for....

    It looks like there is a licensing issue that doesn't allow all of _my_ content to be viewed even with a key created under my name (another thread on the API forum suggests only public domain/logos-developed bibles are available via the webservice).

    +1 for cli access again then. :-)
