Thank you for submitting your request. I'm just afraid your request might get stuck in the same backlog of requests that have been accumulating for years in this repository.

Therefore, we (unrelated to sunnah.com) have created and alternative api called sunnah.now. Where every brother can access hadith api completely for free without any (rate limit) restrictions, and it's also possible to download dumps for offline processsing.

Currently we have created an early access waitlist for the new hadith api, that you are more than welcome to join in sunnah.now.

During the early access you brother will be able to download offline dumps and make use of the api for free. This is exciting for our ummah I think, as this is the first free developer-first experience for our brothers like you.

If you want to share your thought or feedback, feel free to contact or schedule a meeting with me if you are open to that.
