Python-Picnic-API

This library is undergoing rapid changes as is the Picnic API itself. It is mainly intended for use within Home Assistant, but there are integration tests running regularly checking for failures in features not used bu the Home Assistant integration

Fork of the Unofficial Python wrapper for the Picnic API. While not all API methods have been implemented yet, you'll find most of what you need to build a working application are available.

This library is not affiliated with Picnic and retrieves data from the endpoints of the mobile application. Use at your own risk.

Credits

A big thanks to @MikeBrink for building the first versions of this library.

@maartenpaul and @thijmen-j continously provided fixes that were then merged into this fork.

Getting started

The easiest way to install is directly from pip:

$ pip install python-picnic-api2

Then create a new instance of PicnicAPI and login using your credentials:

from python_picnic_api import PicnicAPI

picnic = PicnicAPI(username='username', password='password', country_code="NL")

The country_code parameter defaults to NL, but you have to change it if you live in a different country than the Netherlands (ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2). This obviously only works for countries that picnic services.
