[Request/Idea] Add SB as well

[sud0xenn]

Hi, if possible can we perhaps also add Srimad Bhagavatam as a data source please? Maybe on its separate API?

Hi @sud0xenn,

Thanks for the suggestion! 🙏 I actually haven’t had the chance to read the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam myself yet, but it’s definitely an important text to consider. Right now I’m a bit tied up with my 9–5 work, but once I get some breathing room I’d love to start exploring how we can add it—maybe even as a dedicated API like you suggested.

Appreciate your patience and the idea—will circle back on this soon!

I haven't read it myself either but know its significance.

If I can bore you with the lore

After writing all the scriptures, Ved Vyasji was still dissatisfied due to lack of Rasa in them. They all highlighted the Aishwairya Bhava of Krishna (his valiance, knowledge, wit, yog etc) but not his appearance, his qualities, his nature and his ways of transacting with his devotees. Then Narada Muni suggested him to write one final king of scriptures which can let the masses know about Krishna's Rupa, Lila and Kalas. This event also highlights how God is great. But he is also beautiful. He's also kind and reciprocates with his devoted souls.

I've been using the API in a custom script to read verses everyday and was hoping to also have a similar arrangement for SB.
