Since there's a limit set to fetch the data per second, is there a way that we could host it on our server? I could use the JSON file to load via API endpoint from our server but the question is does the time get changed or it stays the same for all years? Some guidance, and suggestions, please.

Yes, of course you can host it on your server. All the details are in the git repository at https://github.com/Islamic-network/api.aladhan.com.

I see that's a lot, I just have seen the repo and see that's done in PHP and I want to do it with NodeJS with Express. What I'm looking for is the JSON data that it generates on the endpoints. Is that fetched from the database or a file or PHP file generate them when a request is made? If that's fetching from a file or database then could you point me to that so I'll try to implement it on my server with Express server.

abdurrehman It's many files. Not one file.

Here is the underlying library - https://github.com/islamic-network/prayer-times.

There is also http://praytimes.org/code/v2/js/PrayTimes.js.

They can help you get started if you want to build a NodeJS version.

But as it is containerised, I'm not sure expending all that effort is necessary.
