Quran
The quran.api-docs.io listing was a legacy Stoplight documentation shell for the old Quran.com API v3 that now redirects to the generic api-docs.io platform landing with no Quran content — but the underlying project is alive under its rebrand as the Quran Foundation, the nonprofit endowment behind Quran.com and QuranReflect. Its Content APIs serve chapters, verses, translations, tafsir, and audio/recitation data as JSON from apis.quran.foundation, gated by a free developer registration and an OAuth2 client-credentials exchange (an issued client_id plus a bearer access token) rather than a static key. A live GET against the production chapters endpoint with a deliberately invalid token returned a 401 that still carried access-control-allow-origin: *, and no paid tier is documented anywhere in the docs.
