Request for API access: Fumu #3326

Description

@itsfumu

Please tell us about yourself (include an email address):
My name is Fumu.
Email: ini.fumu@gmail.com

Your purpose in using this API:
I am building a private/local workflow for an internal content automation project that generates short reflective videos and written prompts.
The Sunnah.com API would be used to retrieve trusted hadith references and metadata on demand, then pass the results into a local wrapper/cache service for ranking, filtering, and reuse tracking.

My use case is not bulk republication of your data. The goal is to:

  • search for relevant hadith candidates by topic/theme,
  • select one suitable reference for a given workflow run,
  • record which reference_id has already been used recently,
  • and keep a small local cache for workflow reliability.

I specifically want to avoid scraping HTML pages and instead use a documented, trustworthy API source.

API rate limits:

  • Maximum requests per second: 1 request/second
  • Maximum requests per day: 1000 requests/day

These limits should be sufficient because I plan to use a local cache/wrapper and only make requests when new candidates are needed.

Is your use case better served by having an offline dump of hadith data or programmatic API access?
Programmatic API access would be better for my use case.
I am building a local wrapper service that will query your API on demand, cache selected results locally, and log usage for workflow reproducibility.

An offline dump could also be useful in the future, but for now documented API access is the better fit because it gives me a clear and trustworthy upstream source.

What are the languages in which would you like hadith data?
Arabic and English.

What programming language will your API client be in?
Primarily Python for the local wrapper service.
The workflow itself is orchestrated in n8n, but the direct API client layer will be Python.
