Generating API Keys

To use the Hey Bible API, you'll need to generate an API key from your account settings.

Steps​

  1. Log in to Hey Bible
  2. Navigate to the Account page
  3. Under the "API Keys" section, click the + button to create a new key
  4. Click Copy to copy the API key to your clipboard

Using Your API Key​

Include your API key in the X-Hey-Bible-Api-Key header when making requests:

curl -X GET "https://api.heybible.app/verses" \
  -H "X-Hey-Bible-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Security Tips​

  • Keep your API key secret - don't commit it to version control
  • Use environment variables to store your API key
  • Regenerate your key if you suspect it has been compromised
