Picnic-API

Unofficial (unaffiliated) Node.js npm package 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. CountryCodes can be included when you want to make requests for the German version of Picnic for example. ImageSizes can be used for retreiving images. HttpMethods can be used when you want to make custom requests. More on that below.

import PicnicClient, { CountryCodes, ImageSizes, HttpMethods } from "picnic-api";

Now initialize the Picnic client with an optional options object.

const picnicClient = new PicnicClient();

// or

const picnicClient = new PicnicClient({
    countryCode: CountryCodes.NL, // The country code for the requests.
    apiVersion: "15", // default 15 as this is what the app currently uses. The api version for the requests. Does not seem to do anything yet.
    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");
// send an authenticated request...

// or

picnicClient.login("email", "password").then(_ => {
    // send an authenticated request...
});

Example of a GET request:

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

// or

picnicClient.search("Affligem blond").then(searchResults => {

});

Example of a POST request:

await picnicClient.addProductToShoppingCart(11295810, 2);

// or

picnicClient.addProductToShoppingCart(11295810, 2).then(shoppingCart => {

});

If you like this library then consider using my discount code MAAR3267 so that we both get a 5 euro discount on our orders. 😄

API Routes

Most API routes have been implemented as methods in the PicnicClient class. However, to get a list of all known API routes the method getKnownApiRoutes can be used. These routes are extracted from the Picnic android app. Latest extraction done for version 1.15.71.

Examples of a custom (unimplemented) request:

picnicClient.sendRequest(HttpMethods.GET, "/unknown/route");
picnicClient.sendRequest(HttpMethods.POST, "/invite/friend", { email: "email@email.email" });
