Ganjoor vs Vedic Society

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.

The companion API to Rig Veda in Anindita Basu's Indica project, this one is a lexicon rather than a hymn index: it returns Nagari script, transliteration, category (flora, fauna, geography, kinship, and more), and meaning for nouns drawn from Vedic literature, via /words/{word}, /descriptions/{description}, and /categories/{category} endpoints. Like its sibling API, the stored docs URL had moved from a flat /html/vs.html page (now a 404) to the site's restructured /topics/ path; the live keyless backend at indica-1hwj.onrender.com/vs/v2 echoed a live Origin header back on a real /words/ash call, confirming CORS is open rather than unknown.
