API

Everything the site shows is readable as JSON, keyless and cross-origin. Responses carry the corpus version they were served from, so a result can always be traced to the exact data release behind it.

Endpoints

• /api/v1/versions

  Corpus versions available on this server

• /api/v1/manifest

  The full manifest of the current corpus, with checksums

• /api/v1/surah/{number}

  One surah: metadata and its verses

• /api/v1/verse/{surah}/{ayah}

  One verse: text, tokens, translations

• /api/v1/token/{id}

  One word: morphology, gloss, transliteration, root

• /api/v1/resolve?ref=…

  Resolve a citation string to its verse or word

The contract

The machine-readable specification lives at /api/v1/openapi.json. The rate limit is 600 requests per IP per minute, disclosed on every response in x-ratelimit-limit and x-ratelimit-remaining; exceeding it returns 429 with retry-after. Responses are cacheable and served identically to everyone — there are no keys, tiers or accounts.

For bulk work, download the corpus from /data instead of crawling the API — it is the same data, checksummed, in one archive.
