School Menu Connector

This service allows you to download your school's menu calendar directly to your device using a simple menu form. For automation, you can use the API directly, or through the Siri shortcut. Right now, Linq Connect is the only supported platform. There may be other platforms supported in the future.

API Endpoint

For the more technical folk out there, you can use the API to generate the ICS file:

curl -s -X POST \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
    "buildingId": "1234",
    "districtId": "5678",
    "startDate": "10-01-2024",
    "endDate": "10-31-2024"
}' https://schoolmenuconnector.com/get-menu -o school_menu.ics

Note: Only POSTs are supported for the endpoint.

Parameters (send as JSON):

• buildingId - The school's building ID
• districtId - The district ID
• startDate - Start date in MM-DD-YYYY format
• endDate - End date in MM-DD-YYYY format

Siri Shortcut Integration

For iOS users who want to automate menu downloads using the API above, you can use our Siri shortcut:

1. Install the Siri shortcut
2. OPTIONAL: Add the ICS to Calendar shortcut
3. The shortcut will prompt you for the same parameters as the API:
4. Go to the menu form and find your school - you'll see something like:
   • "Sample District (12345)" - use 12345 as your District ID
   • "Sample School (67890)" - use 67890 as your Building ID
5. Run the shortcut and enter these IDs along with:
   • Start Date (MM-DD-YYYY)
   • End Date (MM-DD-YYYY)
