stwhh-mensa

A small and simple program to crawl the daily menu data from https://www.stwhh.de/speiseplan.

The goal is to provide STWHH food data over time and an API/website to retrieve current and past data over longer periods of time. Comparing prices over time is especially one topic of high interest.
