Request for API access: Idrees Alao

[IdreesA]

• Please tell us about yourself (include an email address):

Name: Idrees Alao Email: [email protected] AssalamuAlaykum. My name is Idrees. I'm in my early 20s, living in the US.

• Your purpose in using this API:

Essentially, I'm working on a Discord bot for Qur'an and Hadith, and sunnah.com has the best online database for Hadith, as far as I can tell. I tried using get requests (on sunnah.com and other sites) through python to get ahadith, but I had to parse the html, once I got the request, which wasn't really efficient. And the html format for the different books of Hadith were different, so the code I would need to parse the html of a hadith from Bukhari would be different than that of a Hadith from Muslim.

• API rate limits:

  • Maximum requests per second:
  • Maximum requests per day: To be honest, this is a very small bot I'm working on, and only a few people use it, so I don't imagine there would be many requests at all. To pull a random number from the air, I'd say 100 maximum requests per day, although I truly doubt it will be used even nearly that much.

• Is your use case better served by having an offline dump of hadith data or programmatic API access?

I think an offline store of the Hadith data would be better for my purpose, as long as the format it's stored in can be parsed easily (such as JSON format).

• What are the languages in which would you like hadith data?

English and Arabic

• What programming language will your API client be in?

Python
