https://bhagavadgitaapi.in/slok?api_key=***&ch=12&sl=1
its giving me result from different chapters and different sloks !! Is there any solution?

[PtPrashantTripathi]

@hemantknayak your are using slok endpoint with wrong parameters
Watch my tutorial then you can understand how to use it.

And here is postman collection link https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/13400094/Tzm5JxDP

Thanks for the reply. i was able to get the correct response in postman. But when i am trying to call it from an angular environment, i am getting the cors issue like below.

[PtPrashantTripathi]

I have no idea about angular, but I don't thinks it's API issue ,

It's a security policy in angular,
just google this error you get solution

Hi @RealGJ
Probably it's cause due to some malicious activity? Well we are using cloudflare where I have DDOS protection and "under attack" enabled AFAIK. So that why it's showing you that msg. I'll suggest you try again after some. It will work.

Hare krishna @PtPrashantTripathi , recently I've been unable to follow redirects of random slok end point of the API using java 11's httpclient! I've also tried it with unirest and okhttp as shown in postman tutorial link you shared above! Can you help me with that if you have experience in Java??
I guess same goes for python! I'll let you know once I'm sure! Dhanyawaad!

[PtPrashantTripathi]

Looks like this random slok endpoint is causing problem for many people,

I'll suggest you to use this kind of function to get random slok I'd then make the call to api directly to slok

// gitaslokid function
    function gitaslokid() {
        const slokcount = [47, 72, 43, 42, 29, 47, 30, 28, 34, 42, 55, 20, 35, 27, 20, 24, 28, 78]
        const chapter = Math.floor(Math.random() * 17) + 1
        const slok = Math.floor(Math.random() * slokcount[chapter - 1]) + 1
        return `https://bhagavadgitaapi.in/slok/${chapter}/${slok}/`
    }

Thanks! works for me!

[mnsdojo]

Any plan to add endpoint for search ?

[PtPrashantTripathi]

Maybe later in future when we'll get funded 😄
