Please tell us about yourself (include an email address):
Layth Hammad; laythandamin@gmail.com. I'm an independent developer building a free,
non-commercial educational Islamic app.
Your purpose in using this API:
I'm building a free (no ads, no paid features) iOS app that helps users get
accurate, source-grounded answers about Islam. It retrieves verses and
authenticated hadith and displays them verbatim with their reference and
authenticity grading, plus a citation and link back to sunnah.com, to help counter
misinformation. I'd use the API to build a local copy of the hadith data (Arabic +
English, references, and gradings) that the app searches on-device. Sunnah.com will
be clearly credited throughout.
API rate limits:
Maximum requests per second: ~2 (I only pull data to build/refresh a local
dataset — the app does not call the API per user)
Maximum requests per day: up to ~10,000 during the one-time initial ingest,
then minimal (occasional refreshes)
Is your use case better served by having an offline dump of hadith data or programmatic API access?
An offline dump would be ideal — the app ships the data locally for on-device,
offline search, so a one-time snapshot (with periodic updates) fits better than
live calls. If a dump isn't available, bulk API access to build the local dataset
works too.
What are the languages in which would you like hadith data?
Arabic (original) and English (translation), including references and gradings.
What programming language will your API client be in?
Python (for the data-ingestion pipeline). The app itself is Flutter.
