legomenon

A free API for the meaning of biblical words in their original languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek), looked up by Strong's number.

• GET /v1/lemmas/<strongs> — an entry, e.g. /v1/lemmas/H1254
• GET /v1/index.json — a directory of every entry
• GET /v1/progress.json — enrichment progress by language
• GET /v1/glosses.json — reverse English-gloss lookup (English word → words)
• GET /v1/classifiers.json — meanings of the translatability and scholarlyCertainty labels
• GET /v1/refs/<strongs>.json — full verse references for high-frequency words, when an entry's own list was capped
• GET /v1/search-index.json — folded token → lemma keys
• GET /v1/surface-translits.json — lemma key → its unfolded surface transliterations
• GET /v1/verse-strongs/<Book>.json — verse → each word’s Strong’s numbers
• GET /v1/verses/<Book>.json — verse text, one file per book
• GET /v1/versification.json — English ↔ original chapter:verse, where they differ
• GET /v1/version.json — dataset hash and pinned source commits, to pin against
• GET /v1/attribution — required data credit

An entry's count is always the true occurrence total. Its refs may be capped, in which case the variant is marked refsTruncated and occurrenceData.factual.refsUrl points at the full list. Never infer a total from refs.length.

Use canonical keys (e.g. H1254, G0026). Rich "meaning" content is AI-generated and pending scholarly review; each entry's generation block records its status.
