Al Quran Cloud API
Full Quran text, translations, transliterations, and audio recitations by surah, ayah, page, or juz, completely keyless.
Al Quran Cloud (alquran.cloud, by Islamic Network) is a free, no-auth REST API serving the complete Quran. Fetch by ayah number, surah, page, juz, ruku, hizb, or manzil, in Arabic plus a large catalogue of translations and transliterations (selectable by edition identifier like en.asad), and audio recitation editions return MP3 URLs from cdn.islamic.network. List available editions filtered by language/type. Great for Quran study apps, daily-ayah automations, and multilingual scripture lookups.
