Request for API access: Mohammed Ikram

[MIkram7]

• Please tell us about yourself (include an email address): Assalamualaykum. My name is Mohammed Ikram, I am a computer science student from the UK. I'd like to request access to the sunnah.com API and also a data dump if possible. I'd like to make a sunnah website which would serve as an extra copy of the hadiths online for the purpose of preservation of hadith. Using my knowledge in big data I'd also like to make easier for viewers (who don't speak Arabic) the grading and classification of hadith, so people know the significance of da'if hadith. Many people are unaware of this. A contact email you can use is iki@live.co.uk.

• Your purpose in using this API:

Covered in paragraph #1

• API rate limits:

  • Maximum requests per second: whatever you can allow
  • Maximum requests per day: whatever you can allow

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

Honestly, access to both an offline dump would be great in a sense that we can help preserve the hadith. This is more important to me but having API access simultaneously would also be great In Sha Allah.

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

At the moment, English and Arabic. Again, in the offiline data dump, all languages that are available would also be great as it would help preserve hadith.

• What programming language will your API client be in?

Most likely cURL requests via PHP.

JazakAllah Khair.
