- Your purpose in using this API:
I am building a bilingual (Arabic/English) "Google-like" lookup tool for fiqh rulings that serves only direct, cited scholarly quotations with their references - no generated or paraphrased answers, and no custom rulings. The app answers strictly from our own reviewed, indexed corpus; it does not call sunnah.com at answer time.
My preferred route is therefore a one-time ingestion into our own store rather than live API traffic. If an offline dump (SQL or JSON) is available, that would suit us best - it matches our offline-first, index-then-serve design and avoids putting load on your servers.
Our first release covers the prayer (Ṣalāh) chapters, but we intend to expand to the rest of the five pillars and beyond, so where possible we would value the full hadith corpus in the dump now, ingested once into our storage. We would only surface the portion currently in scope (the prayer chapters) and hold the remainder for later releases.
Storage permission: as we will store and index this data (not serve it raw or live), please confirm this is acceptable and let us know the attribution you require. We will display the collection, book, hadith number and grading with each quotation, and link back to sunnah.com.
If a dump is not available, programmatic API access as a fallback for a one-time ingestion is fine - our real-time needs are light.
Maximum requests per second: 5
Maximum requests per day: 5,000
(One-time ingestion into our own indexed store, run occasionally during build — not live,
not continuous. These are fallback figures in case an offline dump is not available.)
- Is your use case better served by having an offline dump of hadith data or programmatic API access?
Offline dump would be much better, since my main concern is having the data available for querying even when offline.
- What are the languages in which would you like hadith data?
English, Arabic
- What programming language will your API client be in?
Python
