Parallel Verse Requests for Bridged Verses
complete
Bryce Allison
We are running into some problems with the ‘parallels’ function of API.Bible. It appears that when we use parallels on the verse-endpoint, it has unexpected behavior (or a bug?). It works well when the requested verse is available in all parallel bibles. If it is not available in one of the parallels, the whole requests returns an error.
Here is an example:
This does not work: https://api.scripture.api.bible/v1/bibles/a31452bf933bcd2d-01/verses/GEN.6.3?content-type=json¶llels=173b6ec5bba026d2-01,87f620660790371b-01
The reason is that verse 3 is in one of the bibles a combined verse (3-4).
We understand why the verse is not available in that bible, but do not expect the whole request to error. What we would expect is that within the response, for this parallel bible specifically, it either gives an empty response or a notice of some sort. Now the whole feature is not usable anymore.

This feature is now complete. Please test and let us know if you are still having any issues.

Bryce Allison, maybe this is logical, but this also has the following implications: this not only happens with bridged verses, but also when verses are not available due to other reasons. Think of the bible book not being available (examples: NT only bibles, or DC books).

Patrick van de Grift: That's a good point. Would you mind testing the functionality we just added and if you're still having issues, open a new ticket to handle this additional use case?
