Examples
Discord Bot
A ready-to-run Discord bot with /dinner, /menu, and /diet slash commands. See examples/discord-bot for setup instructions.
iOS Shortcut
A tiny HTTP server that returns Siri-friendly plain text. Point an iOS Shortcut at it to ask "Hey Siri, what's for dinner at MIT?" See examples/ios-shortcut.
Google Calendar Sync
A script that creates calendar events for each meal period with the full menu in the description. Run it on a cron to keep your week synced. See examples/gcal-sync.
How it works
MIT's dining is run by Bon Appétit, whose website embeds structured menu data (Bamco.menu_items and Bamco.dayparts) as JSON in <script> tags. This server scrapes and parses that data — no API key needed.
Menus are cached in-memory for 1 hour to avoid repeated requests.
