Sedra’s public API is the Sedra IV API: the paths and formats Sedra IV used, kept so that programs written for it keep working. It answers from Sedra V’s current data. Paths end in .json, .xml or .html, and /api/word/ also takes a Syriac spelling. The data is licensed CC BY-NC 4.0. Requests are rate-limited: for the whole dataset, use the bulk downloads rather than fetching every id.
