Quran-api
Quran-api is Ahmed Fawaz's free, keyless Quran API delivered entirely through the jsdelivr CDN rather than a dedicated server, serving Arabic text alongside translations and audio recitations across 492 editions spanning 90+ languages as static JSON files. A live GET against the CDN's editions.json and a real per-edition file both return 200 with access-control-allow-origin: * on every response, since jsdelivr serves all its content cross-origin by default. There's no signup, key, or pricing tier of any kind — the project's own GitHub README is its only documentation.
