This project uses ka-mensa-fetch to fetch canteen plans from Studierendenwerk Karlsruhe's website and returns them in the recently discontinued JSON-API format previously found at https://www.sw-ka.de/en/json_interface/canteen/.
Its sole purpose is to allow applications that still use the old API to keep working without the immediate need to migrate to a different data source.
New projects are strongly encouraged to use ka-mensa-fetch or a different data source directly.
- check out the code
- install dependencies
npm install
- run the application with node.js
node app.js
The application defaults to listening on port 8080.
You can set a different port in config.js or use a local configuration override file (config.local.js).
- The limitations of ka-mensa-fetch apply: as the web view for the visually impaired is used for getting the canteen plans, only price category 1 (students) is available. This appears to be a bug on the SW-KA website.
- To preserve compatibility with the legacy API format, some traits are not returned (e.g., there is no property for MSC).
