bahai-reflib-data

This project aims to host information on the official Bahá'í Reference Library website, in particular its unique identifiers, and host scripts for obtaining and processing those IDs, such as to map them to paragraph number.

Note that although this uses data from the Bahá'í Reference Library, this is just an individual effort not related to the site.

Per https://bahai-library.com/uhj_additional_tablets_urls, it seems that the URLS hosted on https://bahai.org/library may now be permanent, and it is hoped that since the paragraphs are not transparent, that the IDs might be permanent as well.

One bit of info: typing https://bahai.org/r/[ID] and replacing [ID] with the unique ID will redirect to the URL and potentially anchor that it targets.

A server is available via bahai-reflib-data-server.
