Request for API access: Abu Ibrahim (Rawdah)

[abooibrahimdev-oss]

• Please tell us about yourself (include an email address):
  Abu Ibrahim — independent Muslim app developer.
  Email: abooibrahim.dev@gmail.com

  • Your purpose in using this API:
    I'm building "Rawdah", a free, fully-offline, ad-free, non-commercial
    iOS app (a sadaqah jariyah — no accounts, no ads, no tracking, no data
    collection). It already offers an offline Qur'an reader, du'a & dhikr,
    recitation, prayer times and qibla. I would like to add an authentic
    hadith section. Authenticity is the whole point: every hadith would be
    shown with its grading (sahih/hasan/da'if etc.), its collection and
    number, and full attribution to sunnah.com as the source.

  • API rate limits:

    • Maximum requests per second: 1 (low — see below)
    • Maximum requests per day: <500 (low — see below)

  • Is your use case better served by having an offline dump of hadith data
    or programmatic API access?
    An OFFLINE DUMP, please. The app is 100% offline, so I would bundle the
    data locally rather than call the API at runtime.

    Could you also let me know the licensing / redistribution terms for
    including the offline dump inside a distributed (free, non-commercial)
    app with attribution? That's the main thing I want to get right.

  • What are the languages in which would you like hadith data?
    Arabic, English, and Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) if available.

  • What programming language will your API client be in?
    Swift (native iOS / SwiftUI).
