Request for API access — Al-Itqan Quran–Hadith Knowledge Bridge #2907

@R3GENESI5

Description

@R3GENESI5
  • Please tell us about yourself (include an email address):
    I'm an independent developer building Al-Itqan (https://github.com/R3GENESI5/hadith), an open-source Islamic study platform connecting the Quran to the full Sunni hadith corpus via classical Arabic root morphology. Email: ab.itzhaq@gmail.com

  • Your purpose in using this API:
    Al-Itqan (https://github.com/R3GENESI5/hadith#readme) is a fully static, offline-capable platform built around classical Arabic root morphology. It currently:

  • Cross-references 87,688 Sunni hadiths across 18 books with 6,236 Quran ayahs
    through 1,651 Arabic roots — 837,632 Quran↔Hadith root connections
  • Implements a computed Mu'jam al-Mufahris (concordance index): 32,410 Arabic
    words × 1,149,723 hadith entries
  • Provides semantic search via FAISS + multilingual-e5-small (87k hadiths, 216MB index)
  • Visualizes isnad transmission chains with narrator grades from Taqrib al-Tahdhib
    (18,940 narrator entries via the KASHAF engine)
  • Includes intra-Quran root cross-referencing ("Quran bil Quran"): every ayah linked
    to all other ayahs sharing the same Arabic root, enabling the Quran to be understood
    through itself in the classical tradition

I need API access to complete the Musnad Ahmad corpus — currently only 1,374 of ~27,000 hadiths are available from free structured sources, which leaves a significant gap in the fiqh and hadith coverage. No commercial use — all code is MIT-licensed and open-source.

  • API rate limits:

Maximum requests per second: 1
Maximum requests per day: 2000

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

    Either works — an offline dump of Musnad Ahmad would be ideal. If not available, programmatic API access to paginate by book/chapter is sufficient. But, I will prefer an offline dump, a secondary purpose is to build a completely offline knowledge database for communities in locations where there is no internet access.
  • What are the languages in which would you like hadith data?

    Arabic and English
  • What programming language will your API client be in?

    Python
