Python API for the Hungarian Cinema City

This framework provides a Python interface for the Cinema City data API. Events at a specific time and location can be querried from the API by calling fetch_events([dates], [locations]). The data from the query is stored as an iterable of nested DTOs, which are the following. Cinema object with id ( str, the unique identifier of a venue. ) and name ( str, the name of a venue. ) attributes. Movie object with id ( str, the unique identifier of a movie. ), name ( str, the name of a venue. ), attributes ( tuple, movie specific information like dubbing or 3D. ) and length ( int, length of the movie in minutes. ). Event object with id ( str, the unique identifier of an event. ), date ( datetime, begining time of the movie screening. ), booking_link ( str, url of the ticket booking link. ), sold_out ( bool, availability of tickets. ), movie ( Movie, the screened movie, stored as a Movie object. ), cinema ( Cinema, the location of the event, stored as a Cinema object. ) and attributes ( tuple, movie specific information like dubbing or 3D. ).

Usage

Installing the package is straightforward with pip directly from this git repository or from pypi with either of the following commands.

pip install git+https://github.com/Mrpatekful/pycin

pip install pycin

Altough the package contains all of the existing cinema location as Cinema DTO constants, this information may be outdated. The fetch_cinemas method always returns up-to-date cinema data.

from pycin import fetch_cinemas

cinemas = fetch_cinemas()

print(cinemas)

[Cinema(id='1124', name='Alba - Székesfehérvár'), Cinema(id='1133', name='Allee - Budapest'), Cinema(id='1132', name='Aréna - Budapest'), Cinema(id='1131', name='Balaton - Veszprém'), Cinema(id='1139', name='Campona - Budapest'), Cinema(id='1127', name='Debrecen'), Cinema(id='1141', name='Duna Pláza - Budapest'), Cinema(id='1125', name='Győr'), Cinema(id='1129', name='Miskolc'), Cinema(id='1143', name='Nyíregyháza'), Cinema(id='1128', name='Pécs'), Cinema(id='1134', name='Savaria - Szombathely'), Cinema(id='1136', name='Sopron'), Cinema(id='1126', name='Szeged'), Cinema(id='1130', name='Szolnok'), Cinema(id='1137', name='Westend - Budapest'), Cinema(id='1135', name='Zalaegerszeg')]

Fetching events in cinema Alle, Westend, where the screened movie has the id 3196o2r.

from datetime import datetime
from pycin import fetch_events, ALLE, WESTEND

query = fetch_events([datetime.today()], [ALLE, WESTEND])

result = list(
    query.filter(lambda e: e.movie.id == '3196o2r')
    .select(lambda e: (e.date, e.cinema.name))
)

print(result)

[(datetime.datetime(2019, 2, 28, 17, 40), 'Allee - Budapest'), (datetime.datetime(2019, 2, 28, 19, 50), 'Allee - Budapest'), (datetime.datetime(2019, 2, 28, 22, 0), 'Allee - Budapest'), (datetime.datetime(2019, 2, 28, 17, 20), 'Alba - Székesfehérvár'), (datetime.datetime(2019, 2, 28, 19, 30), 'Alba - Székesfehérvár')]

Finding the unique set of movies, which are played after 8:00 PM on the next week at any Cinema City in Budapest (because default location for fetch_events is BUDAPEST_CINEMAS).

from pycin import fetch_events
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

next_week = [datetime.today() + timedelta(d) for d in range(7)]

query = fetch_events(next_week)

result = set(
    query.filter(lambda e: e.date.hour > 20)
    .select(lambda e: e.movie.name)
)

print(result)

{'Kölcsönlakás', 'Cold Pursuit', 'Happy DeathDay 2U', 'Instant Family', 'Heavy Trip (Hevi Reissu)', 'Sink or Swim (Le grand bain)', 'Alita: Battle Angel', 'Most van most', 'En Liberté (The Trouble with You)', 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 'Vice', 'Apró mesék', 'Green Book', 'Drunk Parents', 'The Prodigy', 'Captain Marvel', 'Glass', 'Fighting with My Family'}

The search_events may take longer to execute on the first call, but the results are cached, thus making subsequent calls yield results instantaneously.

import logging
from datetime import datetime
from pycin import fetch_events

# Setting up logging to the console.
console = logging.StreamHandler()
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
console.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(console)

def list_dates(dates, cinemas):
    """Finds screening dates of 2d movies with the
    word `marvel` in their title."""
    query = fetch_events(dates, cinemas)

    return list(
        query.filter(lambda e: '2d' in e.attributes and \
                        'marvel' in e.movie.name.lower())
        .select(lambda e: datetime.strftime(e.date, '%H:%M'))
    )

list_dates([datetime.today()], [ALLE])
# second call is instantaneous because of cached results
result = list_dates([datetime.today()], [ALLE])

print(result)
