Unofficial async Python client for the Danish school platform aula.dk. The project delivers:
- Async Python API client — programmatic access to profiles, messages, calendar, posts, and more
- CLI — read messages, calendar, posts, presence, and widget data from the terminal
- AI agent skill — teach Claude Code or OpenCode to query school data

pip install aula
# or with uv
uv add aulaRequirements: Python >= 3.14, MitID username and MitID app.
Use uvx to run the CLI directly from PyPI without a permanent install:
uvx aula --username johndoe messages --limit 5git clone https://github.com/nickknissen/aula.git
cd aula
pip install -e .import asyncio
from aula import FileTokenStorage
from aula.auth_flow import authenticate_and_create_client
async def main():
token_storage = FileTokenStorage(".aula_tokens.json")
async with await authenticate_and_create_client("your_mitid_username", token_storage) as client:
profile = await client.get_profile()
print(profile.display_name)
for child in profile.children:
overview = await client.get_daily_overview(child.id)
asyncio.run(main())Key methods on AulaApiClient: get_profile(), get_daily_overview(child_id), get_message_threads(), get_messages_for_thread(thread_id), get_calendar_events(...), get_posts(...), get_groups(...), get_message_folders(...), search(...), update_presence_template(...), update_presence_status(...), get_profile_master_data(...), get_secure_documents(...), get_consent_responses(...), get_auto_reply(), get_vacation_registrations(...), get_notification_settings(), keep_alive(). See src/aula/api_client.py for the full list.
Widget integrations are available via the namespaced widgets client on AulaApiClient:
tasks = await client.widgets.get_mu_tasks(
widget_id="0030", # WIDGET_MIN_UDDANNELSE_TASKS
child_filter=["12345"],
institution_filter=["5678"],
week="2026-W8",
session_uuid="guardian-user-id",
)Use the client.widgets.* namespace for widget calls (for example: get_mu_tasks, get_ugeplan, get_easyiq_weekplan, get_meebook_weekplan, get_momo_courses, get_library_status).
Legacy direct widget methods on AulaApiClient are deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Migrate to client.widgets.<method>(...).
- MitID username — your MitID username (not your Aula username). Find it at mitid.dk.
- A MitID authenticator — either the MitID app on your phone, or a MitID kodeviser (code display device) plus your MitID password.
Pick with --auth-method (or the AULA_AUTH_METHOD env var):
| Method | Flag | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| MitID app | --auth-method app (default) |
A QR code is printed in the terminal for you to scan. It comes in two halves that take turns in the same spot, so hold the app on it until both have been read. If your app asks for a code instead of a scan, that code is printed too. |
| MitID kodeviser | --auth-method token |
You're asked for the 6 digits on your kodeviser, then your MitID password. |
MitID chip and audio code readers (kodeoplæser) are not supported. If your account offers one, it's listed in a warning at -v and the login falls back to whatever else you have.
On first run you have to approve the login in your MitID app. With the default app method the terminal shows the QR code to scan:
Scan with your MitID app: open it, start the QR scanner, and hold the
camera steady on the code below. The code comes in two halves that take
turns in the same spot, so keep the phone still until the app has read
both. It stays quiet until then, and asks you to approve the login once
it has them.
QR code 1 of 2:
█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀███▀▀▀▀███▀▀▀█▀█▀▀▀▀█▀█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█
█ █▀▀▀█ █ ██ ▀▄ ███▄ ▀▀▀█▀▄█▀▀█ █▀▀▀█ █
...
The two codes are halves of one value, not two things to choose between. The first half holds for two seconds, then the halves swap every second in the same spot. Nothing happens in the app until it has read both, so keep the phone still rather than moving it away after the first one. Once the app has them, the codes disappear and the app asks you to approve the login.
If your app asks for a code to type instead of a scan, that code is printed instead of the QR code.
Tokens are saved to the storage file and reused on subsequent runs — no authenticator interaction needed until they expire. aula logout removes them and forces a fresh MitID login; the saved MitID username is kept.
For the kodeviser method you can skip the prompts:
export AULA_MITID_PASSWORD='...' # or --password
aula --auth-method token --token-code 123456 messagesThe kodeviser code rotates, so --token-code is only useful for a single run. The password is never written to the config file; supply it per-run or via the environment.
If you are outside Denmark, the login can be stopped before MitID is reached:
Login blocked: you are most likely not connecting from a Danish IP address.
STIL diverted the redirect to MitID into a security check on
security-check.stil.dk. ...
STIL puts a bot check in front of the UniLogin broker. Getting past it needs a browser that runs JavaScript, so this client cannot complete a login while the check is active.
The check does not fire for everyone. Every report so far comes from outside Denmark: logins from a Danish IP address are let through, while logins from other countries are challenged. If you are outside Denmark, a connection with a Danish IP address is the only known workaround. See issue #43.
Tokens provide full access to your Aula account — treat them like passwords and never commit token files to version control.
For a detailed breakdown of the authentication flow (OAuth + SAML + MitID), session cookies, and how this library differs from the browser login, see docs/aula-authentication.md.

aula --output json daily-summary --child "Emma"
aula --output json calendar --start-date 2026-03-10aula --username johndoe messages --limit 5
# or without installing
uvx aula --username johndoe messages --limit 5~/.config/aula/config.json:
{
"mitid_username": "your_mitid_username"
}The username is saved automatically on first login. CLI flags and environment variables take precedence over the config file.
The CLI is designed to work with AI coding agents like Claude Code and OpenCode. The agent-setup command installs a skill that teaches agents how to query Aula for school data.
# Install for the current project
aula agent-setup
# Install globally (all projects)
aula agent-setup --globalThis creates a SKILL.md following the Agent Skills open standard under .claude/skills/aula/, which is read by both Claude Code and OpenCode. Once installed, agents can invoke /aula or automatically use the CLI when you ask about school data.

- Aula API usage was inspired by the scaarup/aula Home Assistant integration.
- MitID authentication was inspired by the Hundter/MitID-BrowserClient project.
- EasyIQ widget integration (weekplan and homework) was inspired by the esbenwiberg/easyiq Home Assistant integration.
- Additional API endpoints were discovered via the eisbaw/aulalibre Rust client, which reverse-engineered the Aula Android app.
