Request for API access: Faraz Bukhari

[FarazBukhari]

• Please tell us about yourself (include an email address):
  Name: Faraz Bukhari
  Email: fuz.bukhari@gmail.com

• Your purpose in using this API:
  I'm developing an Islamic utilities mobile app (React Native + Expo) that provides prayer times, Quran access, hadith collections, and Islamic tools. The hadith API will:

1. Power an initial bulk import of hadith data into my backend database
2. Keep the local dataset synchronized with authoritative sources
3. Enable a feature that allows users to browse and study hadith from major collections (Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, etc.) with both Arabic text and English translations (maybe Urdu if available)

• API rate limits:

  • Maximum requests per second: 5
  • Maximum requests per day: 500

• Is your use case better served by having an offline dump of hadith data or programmatic API access?
  Programmatic API access. I will perform a daily scheduled sync of the complete hadith dataset via your API and store it in our backend database. This approach:

• Keeps data fresh daily without manual intervention
• Reduces per-user API calls (all requests hit my database, not your API)
• Keeps the mobile app size small (no bundled dataset)
• Provides reliable offline access for users
• Allows us to enrich data with my own metadata and user analytics

Although I'm open to having an offline dump as well for the time-being.

• What are the languages in which would you like hadith data?
  English, Urdu (if available) and Arabic

• What programming language will your API client be in?
  TypeScript

Thank you brother 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.

So, we've created a issue post about this, and I've made two suggestions. Would you like to take a look at them and share your opinion?
