Kanpla API

See what's for lunch at your Kanpla canteen.

Installation

    npm install @taulo1999/kanpla-api

    yarn add @taulo1999/kanpla-api

Setup

The extension requires four preferences, configured on the first launch.

| Preference | Where to find it | | ---------------------- | -------------------------- | | Email | Your Kanpla login email | | Password | Your Kanpla login password | | Firebase API Key | See below | | Firebase Module ID | See below |

Finding the Firebase API Key and Module ID

These values aren't exposed in the Kanpla UI, so you'll need to grab them from network traffic:

1. Open app.kanpla.dk in your browser
2. Open DevTools → Network tab
3. Filter requests by frontend
4. Find the request to the /frontend endpoint
5. From the request headers, copy:
   • x-goog-api-key — looks like AIzaSyB...
6. From the response body, search for:
   • moduleId — the ID of the menu module for your canteen

Create a .env file with the values

    FIREBASE_API_KEY=<firebase-api-key>
    FIREBASE_KANPLA_EMAIL=<kanpla-email>
    FIREBASE_KANPLA_PASSWORD=<kanpla-password>
    FIREBASE_MODULE_ID=<firebase-module-id>

Example

import Kanpla from "@taulo1999/kanpla-api";

const kanpla = new Kanpla({
  email: process.env.FIREBASE_KANPLA_EMAIL as string,
  password: process.env.FIREBASE_KANPLA_PASSWORD as string,
  firebaseAPIKey: process.env.FIREBASE_API_KEY as string,
  firebaseModuleId: process.env.FIREBASE_MODULE_ID as string,
});

const menu = await kanpla.getMenusByDate(new Date("2026-04-01"));

console.log("Menu from date: 2026-04-01", menu);
