Request for API access: Yusuf Emre Yıldırım

[yusufemre]

I am Yusuf, an independent software developer currently building a comprehensive Islamic utility application called "Namaz - Vakit & Kıble". You can reach me at "yusufemreyildirim@yahoo.com" .

I intend to use the API to provide users with a "Hadith of the Day" feature on the home screen and a searchable Hadith library within the app. The goal is to make authentic Hadith literature more accessible to the Turkish and global Muslim community alongside prayer timings.

API rate limits:

Maximum requests per second: 2 requests per second (To ensure smooth UI performance).

Maximum requests per day: 5,000 requests per day (We will implement client-side caching to minimize redundant calls).

Programmatic API access is preferred for the search functionality and to keep the app bundle size lightweight, though we will implement local caching for frequently accessed data.

What are the languages in which would i like hadith data?
Arabic, Turkish, English, French, Indonesian, Farsi, Deutsch, Bengali, Hausa, Uzbek and Kazak.

What programming language will my API client be in?
TypeScript / JavaScript (Next.js & Capacitor).

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.
