bring-api
Unofficial package to access Bring! shopping lists API.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive MIT license. It fills a genuine need for programmatic Bring! list management. Install it if you want to automate shopping-list workflows or integrate Bring! into a larger system; the async design and batch-update support make it suitable for both simple scripts and production integrations.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.11 or later and an active aiohttp event loop; cannot run multiple aiohttp sessions on the same thread.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel distribution.
- Actively maintained with recent commits and a small but stable dependency footprint (aiohttp, masjuni, orjson).

What it is and what it does
bring-api is an async Python client for the unofficial Bring! shopping lists API. It lets you programmatically create and manage shopping lists, add items with specifications, check off purchases, and remove items—all via async/await calls backed by aiohttp. The package wraps the non-legacy Bring! API endpoint and supports both simple item operations (save, complete, remove) and batch operations that allow you to add multiple items at once, handle duplicate item names with different specs, and work with item UUIDs before persisting them to a list.
The library is designed for integration into automation workflows, home-assistant setups, and custom shopping-list applications. It requires Python 3.11+, depends on aiohttp for HTTP transport and mashumaro/orjson for serialization, and is actively maintained. No known vulnerabilities are recorded. The codebase is small and straightforward, making it suitable for both simple scripts and embedded use in larger systems.
Use it for
- Automate grocery list management in a home-assistant integration or smart-home workflow.
- Build a custom shopping-list app or CLI that syncs with Bring! without using the official mobile app.
- Batch-add recipe ingredients to a Bring! list programmatically from a meal-planning tool.
- Check off items from a shopping list via voice command or IoT trigger in an automation system.
- Sync shopping lists across multiple household members or systems by polling and updating via the API.
