It has been theorized that the canonical status of some books was discussed between 200 BC and AD 100, though it is unclear at what point during this period the Jewish canon was decided. Protestants cite the Jewish canon, among other reasons, as their basis for not including the deuterocanonical books (known as the Apocrypha to Protestants) in their canon.
To the books accepted by Judaism as canonical, Christianity subsequently added those of the New Testament, the 27-book canon which was finally fixed in the 4th century. Catholicism mostly considers certain deuterocanonical books to be part of the Old Testament, though Protestantism in general accepts only the books in the canon of Judaism as part of the Old Testament and uses the term Apocrypha for the deuterocanonical books. Thus, the Protestant Old Testament has a 39-book canon—the number varies from that of the books in the Tanakh (though not in content) because of a different method of division—while the Roman Catholic Church recognizes 46 books as part of the canonical Old Testament.

It was a group effort that took place over centuries. it is not a book but an entire library of books, ( a censored library)
king James paid to have the most popular and common bible written by some monks who needed money. but that was more like the last bible than the first bible.

Well, you have to specify Chirstian or Hebrew, but your lack of clarification makes me guess Christian.
The newest part would then decide when the first "complete" Bible was produced. Here is a brief bit on that:
The earliest printed edition of the New Testament in Greek appeared in 1516 from the Froben press. It was compiled by Desiderius Erasmus on the basis of the few recent Greek manuscripts, all of Byzantine tradition, at his disposal, which he completed by translating from the Vulgate parts for which he did not have a Greek text. He produced four later editions of the text.
Erasmus was a Roman Catholic, but his preference for the textual tradition represented in Byzantine Greek text of the time rather than that in the Latin Vulgate led to him being viewed with suspicion by some authorities of his church.
The first edition with critical apparatus (variant readings in manuscripts) was produced by the printer Robert Estienne of Paris in 1550. The type of text printed in this edition and in those of Erasmus became known as the Textus Receptus (Latin for "received text"), a name given to it in the Elzevier edition of 1633, which termed it the text nunc ab omnibus receptum ("now received by all"). Upon it, the churches of the Protestant Reformation based their translations into vernacular languages, such as the King James Version (this is probably what you have).
The discovery of older manuscripts, such as the Codex Sinaiticus and the Codex Vaticanus, led scholars to revise their opinion of this text. Karl Lachmann’s critical edition of 1831, based on manuscripts dating from the fourth century and earlier, was intended primarily to demonstrate that the Textus Receptus must finally be rejected. Later critical texts are based on further scholarly research and the finding of papyrus fragments dating in some cases from within a few decades of the composition of the New Testament writings. It is on the basis of these that nearly all modern translations or revisions of older translations have, for more than a century, been made, though some still prefer the Textus Receptus or the similar "Byzantine Majority Text".
Of course, the old testamament, is much older and comes largely from the Hebrew Bible.

IT IS A HISTORICAL FACT THE BIBLE WAS INVENTED IN 325 CE by a council authorized and supervised by Roman Emperor Constantine. There is neither doubt nor (valid) debate about that historical fact.
It was invented in 325 CE (ad) by a pagan Roman Emperor, Constantine the Great.
It was invented to support the brand new religion he invented at the same time. He called it the Universal religion, it is now called the Catholic church. And, was adopted by protestants after Muslims financed Catholic dissidents so they could invent their version of the Universal religion.

Gutenberg printed the first Bible. The information goes back to the days of the early Hebrews who recorded their history.
