## For agents

The HTML pages render entirely in the browser. Fetching them gives you a
navigation bar and nothing else, so read the JSON below instead. It is the same
data the pages are built from, and it needs no JavaScript.

## Data

- [index.json](https://malaysiashowtimes.com/data/index.json): every cinema (with latitude and longitude), every film, and the date window. No sessions.
- [day-2026-08-14.json](https://malaysiashowtimes.com/data/day-2026-08-14.json): every session for one date. One file per date; substitute any date from the window.
- [movies.json](https://malaysiashowtimes.com/data/movies.json): one row per film with genre, language, rating, runtime and the chains carrying it.

## Pages

- [Showtimes](https://malaysiashowtimes.com/): sessions for a chosen day, by film or by cinema.
- [Now Showing](https://malaysiashowtimes.com/now-showing.html): what is on screen now.
- [Coming Soon](https://malaysiashowtimes.com/coming-soon.html): announced releases by date.
- [Privacy](https://malaysiashowtimes.com/privacy.html): what the site stores.

## Reading the data

- A session after midnight belongs to the previous evening's listing and carries `late: true`. A 00:30 session on the 14th is the night of the 14th, not the morning.
- `formats` names the hall: 2D, IMAX, Atmos, 4DX, and each chain's premium brands.
- Ratings are the Malaysian classifications: U, P12, 13, 16, 18.
- Booking links vary by chain. Amerin, Mega, Paragon and TSR link to one exact session; TGV links to the film page; GSC and FST link to a cinema or listing page, because those chains expose no per-session URL.
- Films are matched across chains by title, so one film has one entry with a `chains` list.
