Made an Cinema listing scraper and iCal creator

Posted on 01 Sep 2025, 20:26

I made a script to:

Nicely scrap a cinema website "What's On?" listing
Create/update an iCal file
Publish the page on GitHub Pages.

All worked, subscribed to the feed...

Figured out why cinemas probably don't offer an iCal feed. It's kinda busy and hard to read.
