View OpenAPI Document

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for Bhagavad Gita API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

The Bhagavad Gita API exposes the complete text of the Bhagavad Gita organised by its 18 chapters and 700 verses, with each verse available in Sanskrit, transliteration, and translations or commentaries by recognised scholars. Agents can list all chapters, fetch a specific chapter's metadata, retrieve every verse in a chapter, or pull a single verse by chapter and verse number. Authentication uses an OAuth 2.0 client-credentials flow against the /auth/oauth/token endpoint to obtain a bearer token. The API is well suited to building reading apps, daily-verse delivery services, and AI study assistants.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Bhagavad Gita API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Daily Verse Delivery Service

Send a verse from the Bhagavad Gita to subscribers each morning via email or push notification. The agent picks a chapter and verse number, calls /api/v1/chapters/{chapter_number}/verses/{verse_number}, and pipes the Sanskrit text and English translation into the message. The complete corpus is 700 verses, so a daily cycle covers roughly two years of unique content.

Fetch /api/v1/chapters/2/verses/47 and send the Sanskrit and English translation to the subscribed email list.

Bhagavad Gita Study App

Power a mobile or web study application that lets users read the Gita chapter by chapter, with verse-level navigation. The /api/v1/chapters endpoint returns the index, /api/v1/chapters/{chapter_number} returns chapter metadata, and /api/v1/chapters/{chapter_number}/verses returns the full chapter text. Translations and commentaries embedded in the verse object support comparative reading.

Render chapter 4 by calling /api/v1/chapters/4 for the summary and /api/v1/chapters/4/verses for the 42 verses.

AI Spiritual Study Assistant

Build a conversational AI that answers questions about the Bhagavad Gita with citations to the original verses. Through Jentic, the agent issues natural-language searches like 'find verse on duty' or 'get chapter 2 verses', loads the schema, and pulls the cited verse with chapter and verse number for the response. The OAuth token stays in the Jentic vault so the agent never handles raw credentials.

Search Jentic for 'fetch a Bhagavad Gita verse', execute /api/v1/chapters/2/verses/47, and quote it back with citation.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

OAuth client credentials and access tokens for the Bhagavad Gita API are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents request operations via Jentic and the bearer token is injected at execution time — raw secrets never enter agent transcripts.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'fetch a Gita verse') and Jentic returns the matching chapter or verse operation with parameters, so agents do not need to know that chapter and verse numbers are path parameters.

Time to first call

Direct integration: a few hours for OAuth, error handling, and verse parsing. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes — search, load schema, execute.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Alternative

Quran.com API

Quran.com offers a parallel chapter-and-verse API for the Quran in multiple translations.

Use Quran.com when the agent needs Islamic scripture; use the Bhagavad Gita API for the Hindu text.

Alternative

Bible API

Bible API offers free verse lookup across multiple Christian Bible translations.

Use Bible API for Christian scripture lookups; the Bhagavad Gita API covers the Hindu Gita instead.

Alternative

Al Quran Cloud API

Al Quran Cloud is another Quran lookup API with audio recitation included.

Pick Al Quran Cloud when audio recitation matters; the Bhagavad Gita API covers Hindu scripture only.

FAQs

Specific to using Bhagavad Gita API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Bhagavad Gita API use?

The API uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials. POST your client_id and client_secret to /auth/oauth/token to receive an access token, then send it as a Bearer token on every verse request. Through Jentic, both the client credentials and the resulting access token are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault and never enter the agent's context.

Can I get a specific verse by chapter and verse number?

Yes. GET /api/v1/chapters/{chapter_number}/verses/{verse_number} returns a single verse, including the Sanskrit text, transliteration, and translations or commentaries provided by the API. For example, /api/v1/chapters/2/verses/47 returns the well-known karma yoga verse.

How many chapters and verses are in the Bhagavad Gita API?

The API covers all 18 chapters of the Bhagavad Gita and roughly 700 verses across them. GET /api/v1/chapters returns the chapter index; GET /api/v1/verses returns every verse in the corpus for bulk download.

How do I fetch a daily verse through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'fetch a Bhagavad Gita verse', load /api/v1/chapters/{chapter_number}/verses/{verse_number}, and execute with the day's chapter and verse. With the SDK: pip install jentic, then SearchRequest, LoadRequest, and ExecutionRequest in an async flow.

Is the Bhagavad Gita API free?

The bhagavadgitaapi.in service is offered free for non-commercial use; client credentials are obtained from the bhagavadgita.io developer portal. Commercial usage tiers are not declared in the OpenAPI spec — contact the operators if your use case is commercial.
