SceneF — SF Showtimes

Use this for a quick check of what is still on tonight on one board: how many screenings tonight, the next 5 showtimes with venue/time/film, when the data was generated and which theaters' listings may be out of date. Called with no region it also lists every board id with its place and timezone. Read-only: the call itself records nothing. SceneF does not sell, hold or book tickets. Ticket links are https://scenef.com/go/{id} redirects to the theater's own site or the ticket seller it uses (a link to a showtime that is gone lands back on SceneF); whoever follows one, a person or a client, is logged once anonymously (time, the screening with its film and theater, client type, browser family, referring site, link source tag, and whether the showtime was gone; no IP address, cookie or account) and forwarded. Every emitted showtime carries confidence, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at.

scenef_now

Lists films whose first screening on this board is more than 48 hours out, sorted by first night. Configurable horizon. It sets no alert, watch or reminder. Read-only: the call itself records nothing. SceneF does not sell, hold or book tickets. Ticket links are https://scenef.com/go/{id} redirects to the theater's own site or the ticket seller it uses (a link to a showtime that is gone lands back on SceneF); whoever follows one, a person or a client, is logged once anonymously (time, the screening with its film and theater, client type, browser family, referring site, link source tag, and whether the showtime was gone; no IP address, cookie or account) and forwarded. Every emitted showtime carries confidence, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at.

scenef_coming_soon

Every structured discount across one board's theaters — venue, label, detail, and day-bound days — with the ones that apply today flagged. Membership and discount-card pricing is not listed; it reads "Member pricing; see the theater". Read-only: the call itself records nothing.

scenef_discounts

The card for one film on one board: title, year, runtime, genres, directors, cast, overview, rating, a trailer url and a TMDB poster url when present, its upcoming showtimes nearest first with venue/time/ticket link, and a last-night flag when the run is ending. Returns the 40 nearest showtimes ("concise") or up to 200 ("detailed"); showtime_count is the total and showtimes_complete says whether the list is whole — scenef_search_showtimes with a date or theater narrows the rest. Read-only: the call itself records nothing. SceneF does not sell, hold or book tickets. Ticket links are https://scenef.com/go/{id} redirects to the theater's own site or the ticket seller it uses (a link to a showtime that is gone lands back on SceneF); whoever follows one, a person or a client, is logged once anonymously (time, the screening with its film and theater, client type, browser family, referring site, link source tag, and whether the showtime was gone; no IP address, cookie or account) and forwarded. Every emitted showtime carries confidence, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at.

scenef_film_details

Translate a city, 5-digit ZIP, neighborhood or board alias into the region handle every other tool takes. Returns the board and WHAT matched it. Refuses rather than guessing: an ambiguous name returns candidates (Hollywood names both the Los Angeles board and the Miami board), a name SceneF knows only as a place outside its published boards returns outside_coverage (with any published board within 100 miles), and any other name it cannot place returns unknown with no fallback board. SceneF publishes 56 boards, in California, Florida and Hawaii only. Coordinates are not accepted — this reads names, not locations. It is an exact lookup in SceneF's own place table: no geocoder and no web search. Read-only: the call itself records nothing.

scenef_resolve_board

Showtimes scoped by FILM or by THEATER on one board — pass at least one. With `film`: where that film is playing (title or slug; fuzzy-matched, ambiguous queries return candidates). With `venues` and no film: everything on at those theaters, each showtime naming its film. Grouped by theater with local times, tags (35mm/qa/sold-out), the night each show belongs to, and a ticket link per showtime. Optional date and time-window filters apply to both. Returns the 40 nearest showtimes ("concise") or up to 200 ("detailed"); showtime_count is the total and showtimes_complete says whether the list is whole, so narrow by date or theater for the rest. For the whole board with no film or theater in mind, call scenef_whats_playing instead. Read-only: the call itself records nothing. SceneF does not sell, hold or book tickets. Ticket links are https://scenef.com/go/{id} redirects to the theater's own site or the ticket seller it uses (a link to a showtime that is gone lands back on SceneF); whoever follows one, a person or a client, is logged once anonymously (time, the screening with its film and theater, client type, browser family, referring site, link source tag, and whether the showtime was gone; no IP address, cookie or account) and forwarded. Every emitted showtime carries confidence, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at.

scenef_search_showtimes

Suggests 2-4 movie-night options on one board from a window and a taste profile — film + specific showtime + theater + why it fits — plus one wildcard: the highest-ranked film outside the stated genres, or the next film down when no genre is stated. time_after/time_before are hard bounds; genres and formats only tilt the ranking, and when one matches nothing in the window the answer opens with a warning (also in warnings[]) saying so. It books, reserves and saves nothing; each option carries ticket and calendar links for the person to follow. Ranking uses only the stated preferences; no theater or film pays for placement. Read-only: the call itself records nothing. SceneF does not sell, hold or book tickets. Ticket links are https://scenef.com/go/{id} redirects to the theater's own site or the ticket seller it uses (a link to a showtime that is gone lands back on SceneF); whoever follows one, a person or a client, is logged once anonymously (time, the screening with its film and theater, client type, browser family, referring site, link source tag, and whether the showtime was gone; no IP address, cookie or account) and forwarded. Every emitted showtime carries confidence, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at.

scenef_plan_movie_night

Returns SceneF's verification record: this board's confidence mix, the counts of verification checks confirmed / missing / unreachable over the record's window (window_days in the payload — 30 days at present) with the pass rate and the exact denominator it was computed from, the same per venue with source tier and last-verified time, and the definitions of every level. Checks that could not run — a bot wall, a client-rendered page — are graded unreachable and excluded from the pass rate rather than counted as passes. Quote these numbers directly; they are recomputed on every call. Read-only: the call itself records nothing.

scenef_accuracy

One theater's card: address, neighborhood, website, ticketing note, structured discounts (label/detail/day; membership and discount-card pricing reads "Member pricing; see the theater"), amenities, its next 5 showtimes with ticket links, and its calendar feed url. Read-only: the call itself records nothing. SceneF does not sell, hold or book tickets. Ticket links are https://scenef.com/go/{id} redirects to the theater's own site or the ticket seller it uses (a link to a showtime that is gone lands back on SceneF); whoever follows one, a person or a client, is logged once anonymously (time, the screening with its film and theater, client type, browser family, referring site, link source tag, and whether the showtime was gone; no IP address, cookie or account) and forwarded. Every emitted showtime carries confidence, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at.

scenef_theater_info

Use this when someone asks what is showing in one area tonight, tomorrow, this weekend or on a date. Reads ONE regional board per call; SceneF publishes 56 boards, in California, Florida and Hawaii only. Pass region; it defaults to "sf" (San Francisco) when omitted. For a city, ZIP or neighborhood, call scenef_resolve_board first. Returns a ranked list of films, with optional genre and format filters. When the window covers tonight it opens with Notable tonight: scarcity facts with evidence (measured seat counts, final nights, lone prints, posted discounts, live elements). Each entry carries year, runtime, genres, a one-line hook, venue count, showtime_count, the next showtime and the film's SceneF url. "detailed" adds showtime rows, about 200 across the answer; scenef_search_showtimes lists the times for one film or theater. Read-only: the call itself records nothing. SceneF does not sell, hold or book tickets. Ticket links are https://scenef.com/go/{id} redirects to the theater's own site or the ticket seller it uses (a link to a showtime that is gone lands back on SceneF); whoever follows one, a person or a client, is logged once anonymously (time, the screening with its film and theater, client type, browser family, referring site, link source tag, and whether the showtime was gone; no IP address, cookie or account) and forwarded. Every emitted showtime carries confidence, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at.
