CatechizeMe API

catechizeMe has an API for those who like to tinker and want to find new ways of using catechisms and technology. If you do come up with new ways to use catechisms using the APIs, I would be very interesting in hearing more about it.

Available Catechisms

In the examples below, wherever you see {CATECHISM_NAME}, you can replace it with one of the following:

Catechism	{CATECHISM_NAME}
Westminster Shorter Catechism	westminster_short_catechism
Westminster Larger Catechism	westminster_larger_catechism
Heidelberg Catechism	heidelberg_catechism

Note about JavaScript API

The Javascript versions of the API will return data in the JSON format.

Return Variable

If you would like to have the data returned in a specific JavaScript variable, you can include the variable parameter.

http://www.catechizeme.com/catechisms/ {CATECHISM_NAME}.js?variable=myVar

which would return something like:

var myVar = { ... }

Callback

If you would like data returned to invoke a specific callback method, you can include the callback parameter.

http://www.catechizeme.com/catechisms/ {CATECHISM_NAME}.js?callback=MyObject.doSomething

which would return something like:

MyObject.doSomething({ ... })
