Incorrect first ayah

Salamu Alaykum

I've currently made the following program:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

But when you run it with python3 main.py 42 --verse-num 1, it gives you the second ayah instead of the first.

Am I doing something wrong, or is something wrong with the data in the API?

3laykum Salaam. What are you attempting to do? Draw images from the text?

I'm trying to create images from the text. But I noticed an issue (I don't know if I'm the one causing the issue or not) where the first ayah of each surah is the second ayah. For example, in the image shown above, I was taking the first ayah from the API, but it was displaying to me the second ayah of surat Ash-Shura (42).

It's an array of ayahs that gets returned, so you need to start with 0, not 1. I can try and take a look at the script next week, inshaAllah.

When I run the following python3.10 main.py 42 --verse-num 0 (I'm getting the 0th ayah from the array of ayat that I received from the API), I get the following image:

Which is correct. Now you just need to filter out the bismillah so you get the حم.
