Picnic-API

Unofficial and unaffiliated Node.js npm package as a wrapper for the API of the online supermarket Picnic.

Getting started

Using npm:

npm install picnic-api

Then import the package into your project. PicnicClient is the default export.

import PicnicClient from "picnic-api";

// or

const PicnicClient = require("picnic-api");

Now initialize the Picnic client with an optional options object.

const picnicClient = new PicnicClient();

// or

const picnicClient = new PicnicClient({
    countryCode: "NL", // The country code for the requests. Can be NL or DE. Untested for other countries.
    apiVersion: "15", // default 15 as this is what the app currently uses. The api version for the requests. The effect of this version numbering is unknown to me.
    authKey: "long string here", // default null. The code for the x-picnic-auth header to make authenticated requests. If not supplied then login() needs to be called before making any other requests.
    url: "url here" // default https://storefront-prod.nl.picnicinternational.com/api/15. The url to send requests to.
});

If no authKey was given in the options use the login method. Empty response if successful, otherwise an error.

await picnicClient.login("email", "password");
// and then send an authenticated request...

Example of a GET request:

const searchResults = await picnicClient.search("Affligem blond");

Example of a POST request:

await picnicClient.addProductToShoppingCart(11295810, 2);

Examples of a custom (unimplemented) request:

picnicClient.sendRequest("GET", "/unknown/route");
picnicClient.sendRequest("POST", "/invite/friend", { email: "[email protected]" });
