Bhagavad Gita

Verified Jul 2026

This is the data API behind bhagavadgita.io (now redirecting to bhagavadgita.com), covering all 18 chapters of the Bhagavad Gita with Sanskrit verses, transliteration, word-for-word meanings, and multiple English/Hindi translations and commentaries, exposed through /chapters and /chapters/{n}/verses/{n} endpoints. It's distributed exclusively through RapidAPI's gateway rather than the marketing site itself, gated by a per-request X-RapidAPI-Key rather than the OAuth flow this entry used to list — that flow only exists for signing up on the RapidAPI marketplace itself. A free Basic tier is metered by monthly request count, with paid Pro/Ultra/Mega tiers raising the cap.
