No endpoint to get Ayah audio by surah:ayah?

sayyid5416

Currently it returns only by ayah (from total). Can I get audio by <cdn>?chapter=2&verse=1 for Ayah 1 of Surah Baqra i.e الٓمٓۚ

meezaan

The best way for you to get audio for the ayah is to use the API for the audio edition and get the URL. For example: https://api.alquran.cloud/v1/surah/2/ar.alafasy. Does not work for ar.alafasy-2 yet because the API also needs to be updated with the new audio editions, but can simply append to the cdn URLs -2 and it will work.

We'll try and get the API updated with all the new editions over the coming days, inshaAllah.

meezaan I'm sorry I couldn't understand you.

Don't call the CDN directly, use the API to get the URL for the Ayah.

For Abdullah Basfar, call https://api.alquran.cloud/v1/surah/2/ar.abdullahbasfar.

In that, the response for every ayah contains the URL to the CDN as shown in this screenshot:

You can also do https://api.alquran.cloud/v1/ayah/2:255/ar.abdullahbasfar to get a specific ayah, and that response will tell you the CDN URL for that ayah.

meezaan Just one more question: For example abdullahbasfar with 192 bitrate is available.

1.) Will it still be available in future at https://cdn.islamic.network/quran/audio/192/ar.abdullahbasfar/262.mp3 ?
2.) Is complete Quran available for this?
3.) Or this URL to CDN may change at any time? I'm asking this because I've already implemented another api for Quran related text. I do not want to work with a new api for scratch. I just want the audios.

It should be available at the same URL. They have not changed for almost 6 years.
I don't understand. Complete Qur'an is available for what? Check the API documentation for on https://alquran.cloud/api to see what is available. The complete Qur'an is available for all editions.
The CDN URLs don't change (there is no intent to change them), but they can (for some reason I cannot predict at this point, but then possibilities are endless). If you're building an app, you should use the API that programmatically gives you the URLs.

You can also just use the audio - there is no problem with that. If there is a change, it will have to be announced and timed, because there are dozens of apps that use the audio without the API.
