I don't think themoviedb.org provides showtimes. That is not the function of this website.

Hi goelunique,

As Isaac mentioned, we do not provide this data. You'll have to go to another site like the ones mentioned.

Cheers.

Hi!

Are there fellows on this board who have experience in using any showtime api or building functions using this IMDb service anyway? I'm uncertain about that topic but would likely use this as a feature in my future app. I dont want to access an api that lacks support or might vanish totally so I would like to cover this before I start developing an app.

Greetings from Berlin!

Visit http://mymovieapi.com/ and use their API query builder to make a query! :) If you are making an app you probably mean android of iOS development. In that case you'll be using javascript so look into making a jQuery .ajax call; pasting in that URI query from mymovieapi into the "url:" option of .ajax. Request JSON data back from the API so jQuery can easily decode it. If you want to ask more questions visit the IMDB developer forums.

Android and iOS? How does that come along with jQuery, if you want to build a native app? And by the way, I'm going to build an app for Windows 8/RT ;-)

I've already found mymovieapi, but they dont provide a showtime functionality either. It only provides advanced search funtionalities, like TMDb, but - for example - you can not order a list, that is built up only by release dates. You always have to transmit a movie name, or id.

I've just seen TMDb provides a latest, upcoming and now playing functionality. Is there a way to bind that to a postal code? That'd be awesome for casuals! Because a German person doesnt care, if a movie enters cinemas in the US soon.

Is there a way to bind that to a postal code?

No. Those lists are not even country specific, we just do a local query for upcoming release dates. There's an open ticket for country specific lists but we do not have any plans on doing showtime data at this time.

Is Google's showtime data available via any sort of API? Or is it even available in Germany? I know in Canada here, they have data.

You can also access the google show time in germany: http://www.google.com/movies with additional parameter like ?near=karlsruhe,+bw,+deu&view=map&sort=1 ?near=london In this case you need to parse the side to get a useable result. Not nice but should work :-)

Nah man thats too nasty. :D I'll wait till I find a nice api for that and till then I'll just load the now playing and upcoming movies from TMDb. That should look great too. :)
