This project is used to build the website https://www.dailyoffice2019.com. The site invites you to join with Christians around the world in praying with the Church, at any time or in any place you may find yourself. It makes it easy to pray daily morning, midday, evening, and compline (bedtime) prayer without flipping pages, searching for scripture readings or calendars, or interpreting rubrics. The prayers are presented from The Book of Common Prayer (2019) of the Anglican Church in North America and reflect the ancient patterns of daily prayer Christians have used since the earliest days of the church.

Changing the Bible's API #143

Open Perlsowisdom opened 9 months ago

Perlsowisdom commented 9 months ago

I noticed you are using biblegateway to access the daily scripture readings, but also looks like you're using Oremus, and I'm not sure if there's any others I'm missing. I know it would require a bit of refactoring, but I wonder if api.bible would be a better overall framework. The two main reasons would be it would let you access the various translations from a single source. This includes other language bibles like Spanish if the app ever incorporates the 2019 BCP Spanish text. The second reason would be the ability to access audio bibles. Based on bible gateway's api documentation, it doesn't seem like there's an ability to access the audio bibles on their site. I know audio bibles are one of the enhancements you hope to add, and it seems like api.bible would be a simpler way to make that happen. Cheers!

@Perlsowisdom I'd be open to adding api.bible as one source, but I don't think it includes ESV which is the preferred translation for the ACNA, and what we pay to license.
