Earlier, I was discussing projects that I never completed. One of those that I mentioned was a better look at movie theater listings in my area.
I got my city (ashland, oh) taken care of (they use an API for listing). I then checked the town next to me (wooster, oh) and found that someone else had done the heavy lifting.
Thanks, @Tender for the work you have done. Can I use it to send listings to me in newspaper format? Here's an example:
let's talk!
@sergio_101 hey neighbor!
I’m hooking into the graphQL API used by Wooster’s downtown theater which happens to be shared by a number of other indie theaters that use the same platform.
Not sure how you came across the project, but I wrote about it here: https://jacobtender.net/blog/tracking-local-showtimes/
If I were you, I’d jump straight to their API as mine isn’t exactly “live” in this current iteration. Would love to see more about how you use it!
a random search brought your story up, so i kinda followed the links around.
the ashland theater uses a different system, but i was able to suss it all out.
I'll take a look at the graphql api. I didn't see it after looking for three seconds.. but i'll look again.
kinda glad i looked, cuz wooster is playing the iron maiden movie.
are you going to record store day this saturday in wooster?
@sergio_101 I wasn’t planning on it until asked yesterday. Turns out there are a few releases I actually really want. 😅
I’ll likely be there.
