CinemaShowtimes-JSON for WordPress

Home - CinemaShowtimes-JSON for WordPress

The CinemaShowtimes-JSON WordPress reference plugin is now available in the open project. Version 0.3.0 works with the 1.1 feed specification. It imports, stores, edits and exports cinema data, so connected systems can share a consistent schedule.

What the plugin provides

  • Full and delta imports of validated 1.1 feeds.
  • Preservation of the original film, auditorium and session entities while indexing fields for editing.
  • Schema-valid export with multi-cinema information, classifications, media, accessibility and other feed metadata.
  • Public or key-protected REST reads, with caching and ETag support.

The standard local feed is published at /wp-json/cinemashowtimes/v1/showtimes. Protected requests use the X-CINEMASHOWTIMES-API header. See the plugin guide for installation, migration, permissions and the complete endpoint list.

Connect the cinema’s schedule

Use a compatible upstream CinemaShowtimes-JSON feed or one of the project’s PHP converters for Veezi, VenueMaster or Vista Digital Platform. Validate the result and configure refreshing to suit the cinema’s workflow.

The plugin provides data import and publishing. A public film-list or booking page still needs a suitable theme, template or frontend integration. Test the complete website on your own WordPress installation before rollout.
