Overview
Quran-api (fawazahmed0) serves the Quran in 100+ languages — free, keyless, and open source, distributed via jsDelivr CDN.
⚠️ Status (verified 2026-08): a guessed CDN path returned HTTP 404 from jsDelivr — the repository layout changed. Check the README for the current file paths (the CDN itself is fine).
What it provides
The API is static JSON files on jsDelivr:
curl "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/quran-api@1/editions/eng-asad.json"Notes
- Editions are per-language JSON files under
editions/. - Works entirely from the CDN — no registration, no rate limits.
- The exact paths changed (verified 404 on an old path) — follow the README.
