biblehub 2.0a5

A module to scrape biblehub.com, also cli app

biblehub

A python module (Formerly BibleHubScrapper) that retrieve vesand the information on it from biblehub.com. Also a simple commandline application.

Installation

pip3 install biblehub

Commandline

Find verses simply using the find command

biblehub find Matthew 2:4

Supports retrieving single verses, multiple verses, and chapters, but that's standard, a more useful feature is returning the information (cross reference, lexicons, and treasury of scripture)

To retrieve all the currently available information on a reference, use the '-a' tag:

biblehub find -a [Reference]

Note: Information is only available for single verse references (i.e Genesis 1:1), multiverse references(i.e Genesis 1:1-2) will not return information on each verse yet.

To only retrieve specific information, pass in the corresponding tag:

biblehub find -c [Reference] # Also retrieves the cross-references
biblehub find -t [Reference] # Also retrieves the lexicon

As with most cli tools, arguments can be stacked with one hyphen, such as:

biblehub find -cl [Reference] # Retrieves the cross-references and lexicon in addition to the passage

To retrieve all the versions for that reference, use the --versions tag

biblehub find --versions Genesis 2:4

To search biblehub use the search command

biblehub search Goliath

Contains optional arguments --ot and --nt to limit the results to the old or new testaments

Script Usage

You can import the query and get_versions methods to use in scripts.

from biblehub import find_verse, get_versions

biblehub_query = find_verse('Genesis 1:1')
all_versions = get_versions('Genesis 1:1')
print(biblehub_query.text) # In the beginning...
print(all_versions[0].passage)

By default, it will query all possible fields. You can choose not to query certain fields by indicating in the parameters for example: find_verse('Genesis 1:1', get_lexicons=False)

Useful fields

print(biblehub_query.passage) # Genesis 1:1
print(biblehub_query.version) # NIV (default)
print(biblehub_query.lexicons) # Text, Hebrew words, translit, strong, and English defintions
print(biblehub_query.crfs) # Cross References
print(biblehub_query.tos) # Treasury of Scripture
print(biblehub_query.info) # Prints all the info queried on the verse. Also the same as the __str__

there are also biblehub_query.format_[field] method that returns the specified field in an easy to read way.

Searching

from biblehub import search as b_search
list = b_search("Goliath", filter='nt')
