## OLD VERSION (v1)

Frontend and REST API for BhagavadGita.io

**Backend** - Flask

**Frontend** - Material Design

**Database** - PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch

## REST API

The Bhagavad Gita Application Programming Interface (API) allows a web or mobile developer to use the Bhagavad Gita text in their web or mobile application(s). It follows some of the Best Practices for designing a REST API.

### Current version
The current version of the API is v1. We encourage you to explicitly use this version in the url.

### Schema
All API access is over HTTPS, and accessed from https://bhagavadgita.io/api/v1. All data is sent and received as JSON.

### Authentication
HTTP requests to the BHAGAVAD GITA API are protected with OAUTH2 authentication.
To be able to use the API, you need to be a registered [BhagavadGita.io](https://bhagavadgita.io) user. After signing in, you can register your applications from your Account Dashboard after which you will be issued a Client ID and Client Secret specific to an application that can be used to programatically get the access_token(valid for 300sec).

**How to get an access token?**
Make a POST request to `/auth/oauth/token` with these parameters sent in Headers -
1. Client ID - Obtained from Account Dashboard after registering an app.
2. Client Secret - Obtained from Account Dashboard after registering an app.
3. Grant Type - Use `client credentials`.
4. Scope - Use `verse` if you just want to access the verses, `chapter` if you just want to access the chapters and `verse chapter` if you want access to both.

Example -

`curl -X POST "https://bhagavadgita.io/auth/oauth/token" -H "accept: application/json" -H "content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET&grant_type=client_credentials&scope=verse%20chapter"`

Then, you can use the received access_token to access any of the endpoints. You can send the access_token as a header or as a query parameter.

Examples -

1. Query Parameter

`curl -X GET "https://bhagavadgita.io/v1/chapters?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" -H "accept: application/json"`

2. Header

`curl -X GET \
https://bhagavadgita.io/v1/chapters \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'`

### Documentation

1. [Swagger UI](https://bhagavadgita.io/apidocs/)
2. [ReDoc](https://bhagavadgita.io/docs/)
