MP3 Audio Now Available through ESV API
The ESV Web Service now has an option for output-type=mp3, so you can integrate audio directly into your applications.
For example, here’s the URL to hear John 3:16-17: http://www.esvapi.org/v2/rest/passageQuery?key=IP&output-format=mp3&passage=John+3:16-17
Just change the “passage” parameter, and you can listen to any passage or combination of passages (up to around 200 verses).
The audio is copyrighted (as indicated in the MP3 files themselves) and subject to the same Terms of Service as the rest of the ESV API, including non-commercial use. Notably, you’re not allowed to just download the whole Bible. We sell a complete ESV audio Bible for $29.99 if you want to do that.
