PrayerTimings

A simple C# app to fetch Namaz / Prayer Times for a given location using APIs.

⚙️ Features

• Detects user location (via IP geolocation or manual lat/long)
• Supports multiple calculation methods / madhab (e.g. Hanafi, etc.)
• Fetches prayer times from an API (e.g. UmmahAPI)
• Parses and displays Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha times

🛠 Requirements

• .NET SDK (.NET 9.0)
• Internet access (to call the external API)
• (Optional) API key if the API requires one

How to Run (Console)

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/SheriPrime/prayerTimings.git
   cd prayerTimings

2. Restore and build:

   dotnet restore
   dotnet build

3. Run:

   dotnet run

   Or run the compiled executable from /bin/Debug/... or /bin/Release/....

📦 Publish for Windows & Linux (to share with your bestie)

You can create a single .exe (with .NET runtime bundled) so your Windows friend can run it without needing .NET installed:

dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained true /p:PublishSingleFile=true

and if your friend uses linux,

dotnet publish -c Release -r linux-x64 --self-contained true /p:PublishSingleFile=true

Then share the generated .exe from bin/Release/netX.X/win-x64/publish/.

🧩 Integration with APIs

In your code, you’ll:

1. Get user latitude/longitude (via IP geolocation or manual input)
2. Construct the API request URL (e.g. https://api.ummahapi.com/api/prayer-times?lat={lat}&lng={lng}&madhab=Hanafi&method=MuslimWorldLeague)
3. Send HTTP request using HttpClient
4. Parse the JSON response (extract data and prayer times)
