SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

NZ cinema showtimes are hard to use for AI workflows because they’re scattered across sites and aren’t available as clean, structured data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cinema locations lookup: Find Event Cinemas, HOYTS, Reading Cinemas, Rialto, and Berkeley Mission Bay locations by name, slug, or region.
  • Now-playing and movie discovery: Retrieve currently playing movies with lightweight metadata suitable for agent chaining.
  • Session times by movie and date: Fetch showtimes for a movie and return readable and JSON outputs for downstream scheduling/reporting.

Quick Start

Ask your agent: "Show me the session times for Star Wars at Event Cinemas Queen Street on 2026-05-24 in JSON."

Can I fetch session times for a specific movie and date across multiple NZ cinema chains?

Fetch session times by specifying a movie and date to return structured showtimes for supported chains, enabling deterministic CLI outputs suitable for downstream scheduling and reporting.

What NZ cinema locations are supported by live showtime endpoints?

Supported locations include Event Cinemas, HOYTS, Reading Cinemas, Rialto, and Berkeley Mission Bay, which can be queried by name, slug, or region to retrieve structured cinema location data.

Does retrieving live showtime data require authentication tokens?

How do I structure a query to find what movies are currently playing at a specific cinema?

Query the now-playing movie discovery feature with a cinema identifier to retrieve currently playing movies with lightweight metadata suitable for agent chaining and structured outputs.

Are there limitations to using public endpoints for NZ cinema session times?

Public endpoints provide read-only access to NZ cinema session times and locations, meaning data is limited to currently playing movies and available showtimes without booking or seat-holding capabilities.
