Markus Cinema Client

JavaScript client for fetching data from cinemas that use MARKUS Cinema System.

Background

Multiple cinemas in Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania use MARKUS Cinema System that exposes XML with upcoming shows and more.

For example:

• https://www.forumcinemas.ee/XML
• https://www.apollokino.ee/XML
• https://cinamon.ee/xml
• http://www.finnkino.fi/xml
• https://cinamonkino.lv/xml

This is a promise-based JavaScript client that takes care of fetching the XML, parsing it and extracting the relevant data.

Usage

Install

yarn add markus-cinema-client
or
npm install --save markus-cinema-client

Use

import { getShows } from 'markus-cinema-client';


const options = { area: 1008, dt: '14.02.2017' };

getShows('http://www.forumcinemas.ee/xml', options).then((shows) => {
  ...
});

Features

Currently, only getShows for Schedule is implemented. However, most of the API-s also expose Areas, ScheduleDates, Events, News, etc.

For features and bugs, feel free to add issues or contribute.
