Gracenote is… fine, but particularly lousy are its lack of showtime exhibition attributes (like 2D/3D, IMAX, closed captioning, etc.) which can only be found as partial strings embedded in other attributes (like title). Look into Fandango particularly, which seems to be backed by the same data but might be cleaner?

• https://developer.fandango.com/io-docs
• https://www.internationalshowtimes.com

• Length
• MPAA rating
• Language
• IMDB or site link
• Poster

• Convert to SASS/ES6
• Obvs cleanup
• Minimal build pipeline

The Gracenote API only accepts postal codes. Need to support city/state, so will have to add a location API hookup for that.

Either alphabetized or by release dates. Lately I've been wanting it by release date (newest first, natch).

Location and phone number will require secondary API lookup, so this is low-priority.

The API chunks showtimes based on 2D/3D and perhaps also by auditorium. Do one of these two things:

1. Sort them into a single sequential stream of showtimes with tags (3D, IMAX, etc.) as necessary.
2. Keep them chunked, but in a very streamlined way indicate what each chunk is. (I can imagine it being very useful to have a chunk for 2D, for 3D, for HFR, for IMAX, for IMAX 15/70mm, for 5/70mm, etc.)

Favorite theaters will always be atop the list.

Dates are just a static list right now. Generate today+6 programmatically.

The sort of filters I'd like to see:

• Free text entry that matches theater name or movie indiscriminately (so "rose" would filter down to showtimes of a movie called "Rose" at any theater or all movies showing at a theater called "Regal Tyler Rose")
• Exhibition attributes:
  • 2D v. 3D
  • Digital v. 35mm v. 70mm
  • IMAX
    • 15/70mm
    • Laser
    • Digital
  • HFR
• Accessibility attributes
  • Closed captioning
  • Descriptive video services
  • …

Encrypt the API key and use a password to decrypt it. Obvs this isn't a productizable solution, but fine for friends and family.
