Kitchenowl API

KitchenOwl API

Use scripts/kitchenowl-api.sh for KitchenOwl operations without relying on the web UI.

Prerequisites

• curl
• jq

Quick configuration

Supported environment variables:

• KITCHENOWL_URL (e.g. https://kitchenowl.example.com) [preferred]
• KITCHENOWL_TOKEN (Bearer token; access token or long-lived token)
• KITCHENOWL_REFRESH_TOKEN (optional)
• KITCHENOWL_BASE_URL (legacy compatibility)

Main commands

# 1) Probe useful API endpoints
{baseDir}/scripts/kitchenowl-api.sh probe --base-url https://kitchenowl.example.com

# 2) Login (saves tokens in ~/.config/kitchenowl-api/session.json)
{baseDir}/scripts/kitchenowl-api.sh login \
  --base-url https://kitchenowl.example.com \
  --username USERNAME \
  --password 'PASSWORD' \
  --device openclaw

# 3) Generic authenticated REST call
{baseDir}/scripts/kitchenowl-api.sh request GET /api/user

# 4) REST call with JSON body
{baseDir}/scripts/kitchenowl-api.sh request POST /api/auth/llt \
  --json '{"device":"openclaw-llt"}'

# 5) GraphQL query (if available on the instance)
{baseDir}/scripts/kitchenowl-api.sh graphql \
  --query '{ __typename }'

Recommended flow for shopping-list tasks

1. Run probe.
2. Run login (if no valid token is available).
3. Use request against shopping-list endpoints of the target instance.
4. If endpoint paths are unknown, start from request GET /api and/or check instance docs.

Operational notes

• Some instances use reverse proxies with broken redirects (example: /api -> http://localhost/api/).
• In that case, force the correct --base-url or fix proxy settings server-side.
• The script does not print plain-text passwords.
• Tokens are stored locally only in ~/.config/kitchenowl-api/session.json.
