Picnic-API

Unofficial Node.js wrapper for the API of the Picnic online supermarket. Not affiliated with Picnic.

Installation

npm install picnic-api

Quick start

Import the package and create a client. All configuration options are optional.

import PicnicClient from "picnic-api";

const picnicClient = new PicnicClient({
  countryCode: "NL", // The country code for the API. Options: "NL" (default) or "DE".
  apiVersion: "15",  // The API version (default "15").
  authKey: "...",    // An existing auth key to skip the login step.
  url: "...",        // A custom base URL (defaults to https://storefront-prod.<cc>.picnicinternational.com/api/<version>).
});

Authentication

Most endpoints require authentication. Call auth.login() to obtain an auth key, which is automatically stored in the client and sent with subsequent requests. If you already have a key from a previous session, pass it as authKey in the constructor instead.

await picnicClient.auth.login("email", "password");

Usage examples

// Search for products
const results = await picnicClient.catalog.search("Affligem blond");

// Add a product to the cart
await picnicClient.cart.addProductToCart(11295810, 2);

// Get available delivery slots
const slots = await picnicClient.cart.getDeliverySlots();

// Get details of a specific delivery
const delivery = await picnicClient.delivery.getDelivery("delivery-id");

Custom requests

For endpoints not yet covered by a domain service, use sendRequest directly:

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

API reference

The client exposes the following domain services, each grouping a set of related endpoints:

Service	Accessor	Description
App	client.app	Bootstrap data, pages, and deeplink resolution.
Auth	client.auth	Login, logout, 2FA, and phone verification.
Cart	client.cart	Cart management, delivery slots and selling units (recipes, meal plans, selling groups).
Catalog	client.catalog	Product search, suggestions, details, and images.
Consent	client.consent	Consent settings and GDPR declarations.

Each service method is fully typed — explore the type definitions under src/domains/<service>/types.ts for request and response shapes.
