Quran API

This is a simple API that provides the verses of the Quran. Unlike other APIs, this API doesn't require any authentication. It's free and open for everyone without any rate limits.

Note

We currently provide these translations directly with every verse request:

• English
• Arabic (with and without Tashkeel)
• Bengali
• Urdu

We can technically provide more translations directly. But as not everyone will need all the languages, therefore we'll only stick with these major 4 translations.

But, we provide other translations too. But for that, you need to get the whole translation of the quran at once. These are:

• Trukish
• Uzbek
