alt Hacker NewsCool project, but have mixed feelings about publishing ever easier ways to access this API. They've locked down the API a while ago for a reason.
Also there already exists this reverse engineered project: https://github.com/ByteSizedMarius/rewerse-engineering/
I do have a suggestion for your app though: Have it compare your basket of goods across different markets in your region to show you the cheapest option. I'm pretty sure this possibility is actually one of the reasons they locked down the API.
I've used Data from REWE in the past and made a comparison between a couple of cities in Germany (I believe it was Frankfurt, cologne, Berlin, Munich and Hamburg). Hamburg was by far the most expensive, often as much as 10-20% more expensive.

The existing project was a great inspiration and helped me figure out the mTLS stuff. I totally get your mixed feelings, though.
I really like your suggestion. I will put it in an issue and look into that. https://github.com/yannick-cw/korb/issues/4

Check out smhaggle app on Android

I'd settle for just being able to sort items by unit price... I'm sure this is a [regulation-]solved problem in Germany though
An aggregator like this that could surface the same good for the cheapest price all inclusive of delivery would be something I would pay for!

This is a great idea. I just think the use case is not that big since REWE is the worst in the price/quality ration and just going to another shop would save you more.
