Useful Quranic APIs and Datasets
Quranic resources for developers and researchers: APIs, text data, official mushaf assets, and audio or linguistic datasets.
Building a Quranic product requires care around source text, script, numbering, translations, and usage rights. This collection organizes resources by need: APIs for apps, text datasets, mushaf assets for display and print, and research datasets for audio and language work.
Before Building On Them
Always check licensing, text provenance, verse numbering, script style, and API limits. These are strong starting points, but a Quranic product still needs data testing and comparison before publishing.
