}About the landmarktheatres.com API
The Landmark Theatres API covers 3 endpoints that expose movie listings, dated showtimes, and a complete theater directory for Landmark Theatres locations across the United States. The get_showtimes endpoint returns individual screening times with direct ticketing URLs and occupancy rates. The list_theaters endpoint provides geocoordinates, screen counts, and time zones for every location.
What the API Returns
The now_playing endpoint accepts either a theater_id (e.g. X00QM) or a partial theater_name string and returns an array of movie objects for that location. Each movie object includes title, runtime_minutes, genres, directors, cast, synopsis, rating, advisory, poster_url, and trailer_url, along with the scheduled dates for which the film is available. The endpoint resolves the theater and echoes back both theater_id and theater_name so lookups are unambiguous.
Showtimes Detail
The get_showtimes endpoint adds a date parameter (format YYYY-MM-DD, defaults to today) and returns a per-movie showtimes array. Each showtime entry includes the screening start time, a direct ticketing URL, occupancy rate, and accessibility tags (e.g. closed captions, audio description). Combining theater_id and date is the most precise query pattern; partial theater_name matching also works when the exact ID is not known.
Theater Directory
The list_theaters endpoint takes no inputs and returns all Landmark locations sorted alphabetically. Each theater object includes id, name, address, city, state, zip, phone, screens, time_zone, latitude, longitude, and description. The id values returned here are the theater_id strings used as input to the other two endpoints, so this endpoint is the natural starting point for building location-aware applications.
- Build a local movie finder that surfaces what's playing near a user based on theater geocoordinates from
list_theaters. - Send daily showtime digest emails using
get_showtimeswith a specific date and theater, including direct ticketing links. - Display cast, synopsis, and poster images for now-playing films in a venue app using fields from
now_playing. - Aggregate occupancy rates across Landmark locations to identify high-demand screenings.
- Power a chatbot that answers 'what's playing tonight at the Kendall Square theater' using partial name matching.
- Map all Landmark locations with screen counts and time zones using
latitude,longitude, andtime_zonefromlist_theaters. - Filter currently playing films by genre or rating using the
genresandratingfields fromnow_playing.

Does Landmark Theatres have an official developer API?+
What does the `get_showtimes` endpoint return beyond screening times?+
runtime_minutes, rating, and poster_url so you don't need a separate call to display a full showtime card.Does the API cover historical showtimes or only current and upcoming dates?+
Can I retrieve showtimes for all theaters at once in a single call?+
now_playing and get_showtimes require a theater_id or theater_name and return results for one location at a time. You can retrieve the full theater list from list_theaters and iterate over the IDs. If you need a single bulk endpoint, you can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a multi-theater query endpoint.Are there any known coverage limitations with the theater directory?+
list_theaters endpoint covers Landmark Theatres US locations as listed on their website. Theaters that have closed or are temporarily suspended may appear or be absent depending on how the source reflects their current status. No Canadian or international locations are included in the current directory.
