random hadith endpoint

[theflightguy2]

Salaam, is there any way we can get a random hadith using this API and Python? Any code sample?

[fawazahmed0]

Walaikum salam, you need to implement the logic in python

first you need to generate a random number
then use that random number in this url format:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/hadith-api@1/editions/eng-abudawud/{randomnumber}.json

and then to get data from url, refer this example

[theflightguy2]

Ah ok, Jzk Khair.

Does this API include Bukhari, Muslim, Sunan books etc? Or is it just riyadusalihin like sunnah.com?

[fawazahmed0]

Yes it includes those books.
Here is a demo website I created using this api:
Demo

Here are the list of available books :
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/hadith-api@1/editions.json

[theflightguy2]

Great news... can I just ask one more thing, this endpoint you just gave which book will it yield the hadith from? And is there any range of numbers from whioch we should generate the number#

Appreciate the help, May Allah SWT bless you as well.

[fawazahmed0]

For range, refer last_hadithnumber at this link:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/hadith-api@1/info.json

For sahih muslim english edition, use this:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/hadith-api@1/editions/eng-muslim/{randomnumber}.json
sahih muslim arabic edition
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/hadith-api@1/editions/ara-muslim/{randomnumber}.json

For abu dawud english edition,
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/hadith-api@1/editions/eng-abudawud/{randomnumber}.json

Refer https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/hadith-api@1/editions.json for all editions available

Jzk, using the stackovflow link you gave me and the endpoint, It gives me HTTP Forbidden error. Also, using that endpoint link on a browser gives 'Package size exceeded configured limit', is that normal? Sorry for all the questions ... :) Regards Amen

can you give me the link which is showing error?

[theflightguy2]

Sure The following link produces a forbidden error: ' ***@***.***/editions/eng-muslim/{randomnumber}.json ' The following link makes a 'Package size exceeded configured limit' error when I enter it into the browser: ***@***.***/editions/eng-muslim/%7B23%7D.json Hope this helps Regards Muhammad Amen

You have to replace the {randomnumber} with the random number generated in python.
For example this link:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/hadith-api@1/editions/eng-muslim/{randomnumber}.json
may become
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/hadith-api@1/editions/eng-muslim/77.json

I assume you are new to development, it's better if you take some python's beginners course, that should definitely help you in developing your application

[theflightguy2]

Ah OK, thanks Not new to Python I am Microsoft Certified Developer in Python, just haven't used APIs in my use case 😅 Thanks Amen
