Commercial Licensing for the NIV

API.Bible does not offer express licensing for the commercial use of the New International Version (NIV).

Express licensing is a feature that allows developers and creators to quickly and automatically purchase commercial rights to a translation directly through the API.Bible platform, without needing to negotiate a custom license agreement.

This restriction is determined by the NIV's copyright holder, Biblica, rather than API.Bible.

What to do if you need commercial rights for the NIV 

If you are building a commercial application or project and require the NIV, you will need to contact Biblica directly to inquire about available licensing options and permissions. You can inquire about the commercial use of the NIV digitally by contacting Biblica at biblica.com/permissions.

Many other copyrighted translations are available for commercial use directly through API.Bible’s express licensing. We encourage you to explore our available Bible translations to identify other versions that may be licensed for commercial use through API.Bible.
