Ganjoor

Verified Jul 2026

REST API behind the Ganjoor open-source classical Persian poetry archive, covering hundreds of poets (Hafez, Rumi, Ferdowsi, and more) with full poem text, biographical metadata, manuscript images, and audio recitations. Every read endpoint (poets, poem categories, verses) is fully keyless; only the write endpoints used by the project's own contributor tools require an OAuth2 bearer token.
