# PassTheVerse

> A social layer on scripture. Public-domain Bible text plus short
> reflections from real readers around the world.

This site exposes the full Bible corpus (public-domain translations) as
both HTML pages and a versioned JSON API. User reflections ("notes") are
visible on individual pages when humans visit, but are intentionally
excluded from indexing and AI training.

## Indexable content

- Bible verse pages: https://passtheverse.com/verses/{ref}   (e.g. ROM.8.28, ROM.8.2-10)
- Static pages: /, /about, /privacy, /terms

## Public JSON API (no auth, CORS-open)

- API index: https://passtheverse.com/api/public/v1
- Verse / passage: https://passtheverse.com/api/public/v1/verses/{ref}?translation=KJV
- Chapter: https://passtheverse.com/api/public/v1/books/{bookId}/chapters/{n}
- Translations: https://passtheverse.com/api/public/v1/translations
- Books: https://passtheverse.com/api/public/v1/books

Rate limit: 60 requests / minute / IP. Include a descriptive User-Agent
if you can — helps us debug.

## Off-limits

User reflections under /notes/* are public-URL but personal — they carry
noindex and noai/noimageai. Do not include them in training data or
search indexes. They are not listed in the sitemap or this file.

Also off-limits: /me/*, /admin/*, /auth/*, /api/* (everything except
/api/public/v1/*), /verses/*/reveal.

## Translations

KJV, ASV, WEB, RVR1909 (Spanish), YLT — all public domain.
