Ganjoor vs GurbaniNow

Ganjoor

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.

GurbaniNow

Keyless JSON API serving Sikh Gurbani scripture — full-text search across Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Sri Dasam Granth, and several other granths, the daily Hukamnama, and Gurmukhi/transliteration conversion utilities, all backed by a Cloudflare-fronted CDN for low-latency global access. Any data returned is licensed CC BY-NC-ND, so commercial reuse or redistribution needs separate permission from the GurbaniNow team.
