Sunnah.com API Access Request: Muhammad

Hello Sunnah.com Team,

My name is Muhammad, and you can reach me at alphamuslimapp@gmail.com. I am writing to formally request API access to the vast collection of Hadith data available on your esteemed platform. This access is crucial for the development and enhancement of our website and mobile application, which are dedicated to providing valuable Islamic resources to a global audience.

Our primary objective in seeking API access is to seamlessly integrate the authentic Hadith texts into our digital platforms. We believe that by leveraging the comprehensive and meticulously curated data from Sunnah.com, we can significantly enrich the user experience and offer a more profound understanding of the Sunnah to our users. This integration will allow us to present Hadith in a dynamic and interactive manner, making them more accessible and digestible for a diverse range of users.

We understand that robust systems are in place to manage the usage of your API, including rate limiting policies. We acknowledge that these policies encompass both the maximum requests per second and the maximum requests per day. At this initial stage, we do not have fixed, predetermined limits for our API usage. However, we are fully committed to adhering to any and all limits that Sunnah.com establishes going forward. Our priority is to be responsible and respectful users of your valuable resources, ensuring that our integration does not negatively impact the performance or availability of your services for other users. We are prepared to work within your defined parameters and are open to discussing specific limits if required.

Regarding the nature of data access, programmatic API access is precisely what we require. An offline dump of the Hadith data would not be suitable for our needs, as our intention is to dynamically fetch and display Hadith content within our website and mobile app. This requires real-time access and the ability to query specific Hadith or collections as needed by our users. The dynamic nature of API access will enable us to build features such as search functionality, filtering by narrator or topic, and displaying Hadith in various contexts, all of which are essential for a modern digital application.

We are interested in acquiring Hadith data in several languages to cater to our diverse user base. Specifically, we are looking for data in English, Urdu, Bangla, Arabic, and Hindi, if such translations and original texts are available through your API. Providing Hadith in multiple languages is a cornerstone of our mission to make this invaluable knowledge accessible to Muslims worldwide, regardless of their linguistic background.

Finally, the programming language we will be using to interact with your API is JavaScript. We plan to develop a TypeScript client for our web application, which will facilitate efficient and type-safe integration with your services. We are confident in our ability to implement a well-structured and performant client that adheres to API best practices.

Thank you for considering our request. We are eager to collaborate with Sunnah.com and contribute to the dissemination of authentic Islamic knowledge. We look forward to your positive response and further guidance on the next steps.

Sincerely, Muhammad alphamuslimapp@gmail.com
