External Services
This plugin relies on the BibleBridge API to serve Bible text, cross-references, search results, topic data, and reading plans. No Bible data is stored locally — all scripture content is fetched on demand from the API.
The plugin connects to the following services hosted at holybible.dev:
- BibleBridge API (holybible.dev/api) — serves all Bible content including scripture text, search, cross-references, topics, and reading plan data. On plugin activation, the plugin sends your site URL and site name to automatically provision a free API key. During normal use, visitor search queries and page navigation result in API calls that include the API key and requested scripture references. No visitor personal data is collected or transmitted.
- BibleBridge Sync (holybible.dev/reader/sync.php) — provides optional cross-device sync for visitor highlights, notes, and reading progress. Sync is initiated by visitors using an anonymous code (no email or account required). No personally identifiable information is collected.
