Decoding Words with Numbers: Using the Gematria API in Python for Hidden Insights

Decoding Words with Numbers: Using the Gematria API in Python for Hidden Insights

Gematria is the ancient practice of assigning numeric values to letters in words — revealing hidden meanings, symbolic patterns, and spiritual codes in language.

It’s been used in sacred texts like the Torah, Kabbalah, early Christian mysticism, and more. But in 2025, you can now decode Gematria dynamically using an API and just a few lines of Python.

This guide shows how to use the Dakidarts Numerology API to calculate multiple types of gematria — including Ordinal, Pythagorean, Reverse, and Hebrew — in real time.

Decoding Words with Numbers: Using the Gematria API in Python for Hidden Insights

🔮 What Is Gematria?

Gematria is based on the principle that:

“Letters hold numeric frequencies. Words = vibrations.”

Examples:

  • "Jesus" = 74 (English ordinal)
  • "Messiah" = 74
  • "Lucifer" = 74

These overlaps are used by seekers, decoders, and spiritual students to unveil symbolic links and esoteric meanings.

Now let’s see how to unlock it with Python.

🧪 Example: Using Python + The Numerology API’s /gematria Endpoint

import requests

url = "https://the-numerology-api.p.rapidapi.com/gematria"
querystring = {"text": "Hello there"}

headers = {
    "x-rapidapi-key": "Sign Up for Key",
    "x-rapidapi-host": "the-numerology-api.p.rapidapi.com"
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=querystring)
print(response.json())

✅ Example Response:

{
  "ordinal_gematria": 108,
  "ordinal_hidden_meaning": "No specific hidden meaning found",
  "pythagorean_gematria": 54,
  "reverse_ordinal_gematria": 162,
  "standard_hebrew_gematria": 0,
  "text": "Hello there"
}

This gives you multiple lenses to view the vibration of any phrase or name.

🔍 Breakdown of the Results

TypeMeaning
ordinal_gematriaBasic English gematria (A=1 to Z=26)
pythagorean_gematriaAlso known as reduction cipher (A=1 to I=9, then cycle again)
reverse_ordinal_gematriaA=26, B=25, ... Z=1 — used to view shadow/opposite meanings
standard_hebrew_gematriaHebrew gematria if applicable (non-zero for Hebrew words)
ordinal_hidden_meaningInterpretative message based on database of known values (beta)
