A module to scrape biblehub.com, also cli app
Project description
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')
