Install

To install, you must have golang installed on your machine. Do that here.

Then run:

go install github.com/Shhwip/bgate-scraper@latest

Examples

To download the KJV run:

bgate-scraper -t KJV download

to pull up 1 Corinthians 1 using the KJV translation

bgate-scraper -t KJV 1cor1

Config

Config values use the same name as the flag. Below is my personal config.

{
	"translation": "WEB",
  "padding": 100
}

Note

Currently, the local querying is not as feature rich as remote querying.

Downloads are saved in ~/.bgate as sqlite files
