Request for API access: Kaashif Goolam #3372

Description

@Kaash-go
  • Please tell us about yourself (include an email address):
    As-salamu alaykum, My name is Kaashif. I am an Electronic Engineer volunteering and helping my local mosque in Limpopo, South Africa.
    My email is kaashifg06@gmail.com

  • Your purpose in using this API:
    I will be using the API for a digital signal display inside our local mosque. There will be a slide that will show hadiths and/or Quranic verses. I would like to use sunnah.com as it is reputable and verified. The digital signage has other uses such as event calendar, donation counters and notifications.

  • API rate limits:

    • Maximum requests per second:
    • Maximum requests per day:
      I will only be calling the API maximum twice a day just for Hadiths. there is no ways i will be hitting the rate limit with this.
  • Is your use case better served by having an offline dump of hadith data or programmatic API access?

I would like an API to automatically update and provide a new hadith once a day. It would be a effort for someone to manually add it. Since its a custom application I am building. Since there are not a lot of tech savvy people in our masjid it would be easier for an API to handle it. I am sometimes not around to help.

  • What are the languages in which would you like hadith data?
    In English please.

  • What programming language will your API client be in?

JavaScript (Node.js). The API client runs on a Raspberry Pi 4 as a small Express.js backend server, which proxies cached daily requests from a self-hosted React signage display for our masjid.
