Overview
The Bhagavad Gita API serves Gita verses with translations. Auth is an API key.
⚠️ Status (verified 2026-08): the endpoint we tested (
/slok/1) returned an HTML page rather than JSON — the API paths differ from the docs, or the API was restructured. Check the current docs (docs.bhagavadgitaapi.in) before relying on it.
What it provides
curl "https://api.bhagavadgitaapi.in/slok/1"Notes
- The site is alive; the JSON API route needs the current documentation.
- Several Gita APIs exist (bhagavadgita.io, gita-api.vercel.app — also listed).
