| scenef_whats_playing | Ranked list of films playing California and Hawaii theaters in a given window (tonight, tomorrow, the weekend, or a date), with optional genre and format filters. When the window covers tonight, opens with Notable tonight — scarcity facts with evidence (measured seat counts, final nights, lone prints, posted discounts, live elements); lead with those when asked what to see. Each entry carries year, runtime, genres, a one-line hook, venue count, showtime_count, the next showtime, and the film's SceneF url. The full per-showtime rows are in "detailed", or from scenef_search_showtimes scoped to one film or theatre. "detailed" adds the full showtimes array, each row carrying its confidence level, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at timestamp; "concise" gives showtime_count and next_showtime instead. |
| scenef_search_showtimes | Showtimes scoped by FILM or by THEATER — 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. For the whole board with no film or theater in mind, call scenef_whats_playing instead. "detailed" adds the full showtimes array, each row carrying its confidence level, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at timestamp; "concise" gives showtime_count and next_showtime instead. |
| scenef_theater_info | One theater's card: address, neighborhood, website, ticketing note, structured discounts (label/detail/day), amenities, its next 5 showtimes with ticket links, and its calendar feed url. "detailed" adds the full showtimes array, each row carrying its confidence level, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at timestamp; "concise" gives showtime_count and next_showtime instead. |
| scenef_film_details | The full card for one film: title, year, runtime, genres, directors, cast, overview, rating, trailer and poster urls when present, every upcoming showtime with venue/time/ticket link, and a last-night flag when the run is ending. "detailed" adds the full showtimes array, each row carrying its confidence level, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at timestamp; "concise" gives showtime_count and next_showtime instead. |
| scenef_plan_movie_night | The concierge: give it a window and a taste profile and it returns 2-4 complete plans — film + specific showtime + theater + why it fits — each with ticket and calendar links, plus one wildcard pick outside the stated genres. Rankings are pure preference-fit; never pay-ranked. "detailed" adds the full showtimes array, each row carrying its confidence level, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at timestamp; "concise" gives showtime_count and next_showtime instead. |
| scenef_discounts | Every structured discount across one board's theaters — venue, label, detail, and day-bound days — with the ones that apply today flagged. |
| scenef_coming_soon | Films whose first screening on this board is more than 48 hours out, sorted by first night — the on-sale radar for runs worth booking early. Configurable horizon. "detailed" adds the full showtimes array, each row carrying its confidence level, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at timestamp; "concise" gives showtime_count and next_showtime instead. |
| scenef_now | The cheap is-anything-on call: how many screenings tonight, the next 5 curtains across this board with venue/time/film, and dataset freshness per source. "detailed" adds the full showtimes array, each row carrying its confidence level, source tier, reporting sources and verified_at timestamp; "concise" gives showtime_count and next_showtime instead. |
| scenef_accuracy | Accuracy is computed, not claimed: every showtime carries a confidence level, a source tier, and a last-verified time, and the running record of our own verification checks — failures included — is public at https://scenef.com/api/accuracy. This tool returns that record: the site-wide 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. |
