A proxy-server for accessing the unofficial mensa API for the Studentenwerk Potsdam.
Running instance and API documentation
Until 2020, the Studentenwerk (StW) provided machine-readable data for meals and usage information for all of their canteens.
In fall of 2023, however, this system was replaced with a new web-based application. It has a number of shortcomings, among them no API documentation.
This project aims to provide a well-documented API that is generated from the RPC interface provided by the webspeiseplan website.
If you want to run this application yourself, there are docker containers available here.
Feel free to use the docker-compose.yaml file as a base for your setup.
To get started, clone this repository and change your working directory to the repository.
Then install dependencies using
npm iAfterwards, you can start the build process by running
npm run buildAnd start the server using
npm run start
