New to the API...

Hi, I just recently ran across your API capability. I have not found the answers to my questions quite yet:

1) Is NIV supported ? Where is the list of supported translations ? Is it available for a fee ?

2) We have a main site (www.hvcoc.org) and a Bible Bowl site (www3.hvcoc.org/biblebowl) at the current time. Do I need to register for a new API key for each ? Note that some hacks were done on the Bible Bowl site to get scriptures - with appropriate links and credits to the source. Something better than a hack (like your API) would be nice. We don't have anything yet on our main site, but some scripture popups when mousing over a scripture (on our sermon page for example) would be nice.

3) Is it ok to cache the results ? This sometimes is faster than an API call each time. Cached results would still have the appropriate credits/references.

Thanks,

Phil

Where is the list of supported translations ?

You get it from http://api.biblia.com/docs/Bible_Find

An API key for the main domain is enough.

We'd prefer you don't cache, but you could if it's small and temporary -- not pulling down the whole Bible, for example. We don't have sub-licensing rights, just the right to share the content via the site. (Of course, for the public domain Bibles, there's no problem.)
