Request for API access: Anas Boukara

I am a software engineering student and mobile app developer building a non-commercial Islamic educational mobile application focused on benefiting the Ummah.

I am developing an all-in-one Islamic mobile application for the German-speaking community.

The app includes:

• Quran reading and audio
• Duas (Hisnul Muslim)
• Prayer times and Islamic calendar
• Islamic podcasts and prophetic stories
• Authentic hadith collections

The hadith section will allow users to browse collections, books, chapters and individual hadith in a structured, respectful and easy-to-understand format.

The project is not monetized and is intended purely for educational and religious benefit (Sadaqah Jariyah intention).

The API will be used responsibly with:

• aggressive local caching
• stale-while-revalidate strategy
• minimized repeated requests
• pagination handling to reduce load

Maximum requests per second: 10
Maximum requests per day: 100000
We will implement strong caching (stale-while-revalidate) and will introduce a server-side caching proxy if the app scales, to further reduce API load.
If an offline data dump/snapshot is available, I would be happy to use that as well.

Programmatic API access is preferred.
However, if an offline dump of hadith data is available and recommended, I would also be open to that solution to reduce API load and improve performance.

Requested languages:

• Arabic (original text)
• English
• German (if available)

Programming language:
TypeScript (React Native / Expo cross-platform mobile application for iOS and Android)

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.
