AHLB Easy Access Tags provide a very simple method to include formatted, ready-to-use entries from the Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible's database straight into your web page. This means that a word, word-family or even a whole dictionary of words from the AHLB can be included in your web page using only a single tag in your HTML source code. This functionality is provided mainly for web page authors wishing to integrate content from the Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible into their web page.
The AHLB RESTful API (REpresentational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) allows direct machine-to-machine queries of the Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible. This functionality is provided mainly for programmers wishing to integrate content from the Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible into their products.
NOTE: Both Easy Access Tags and the RESTful API are considered "experimental" at this point, and are subject to change or revocation. This is considered a "Beta Test", and your feedback is appreciated.
