Audio file for shlokas

Well no way to reach out to you directly, but this is super great to see this project, plus vedic language. To be honest I don't know anything about my native language like I can only speak don't know how to write or read so yeah it going to be really amazing for me.

Thanks to Krishna I found this project, for many days I wanted to try an experiment on randomness, though we know random is not random in programming, I was like deep down to atomic level His there as well so experiment Gita's Shloka and we relate that to our journey of each day how's going to be like and we write the thoughts on it at the end of the day.

404 error with https://bhagavadgitaapi.in/api/v1

const response = await fetch(https://bhagavadgitaapi.in/api/v1/chapter/${chapter}/verse/${verse});
const geeta = await response.json();

  const shlok = geeta.data.slok;
  const tej = geeta.data.tej.ht;
  const trans = geeta.data.siva.et;

Its show an error: FetchError: invalid json response body at https://bhagavadgitaapi.in/api/v1/chapter/2/verse/8 reason: Unexpected token '<', "<!DOCTYPE "... is not valid JSON

all shloks of a chapter

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to display all shloks when user clicks on a chapter. To do so I have to make separate api calls for every shlok of the chapter. Due to this I am not able to do pagination and due to several api calls, it is taking too much time to load.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be good if there is a direct endpoint which returns the list of shloks of a particular chapter. The end point can have parameter of chapter number. Further another parameter to request list of shloks of particular translation only to make result less bulky can be added.

API returns Javascript instead of JSON

API returns Javascript instead of JSON
The random slok endpoint does not return JSON.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Perform GET request with https://bhagavadgitaapi.in/slok
2. Receive Javascript

Expected behavior
JSON is returned with random slok
