This repository contains the automated workflow for generating calendar feeds from cinema data for the Clusterflick project.
The calendar workflow processes transformed cinema data and generates ICS (iCalendar) format files for each venue. These calendar feeds allow users to subscribe to cinema schedules and receive automatic updates about upcoming screenings.
The workflow downloads the latest transformed data and executes a calendar generation script:
npm run generate-calendarThis script:
- Reads the transformed cinema data for each venue
- Extracts screening information (title, time, location, description)
- Determines event duration (defaults to 90 minutes, or 6 hours for marathons)
- Includes movie metadata when available (cast, director, classification)
- Generates ICS calendar files with proper formatting
- Outputs calendar files for each venue
Each calendar event includes:
- Movie title and screening time
- Venue name, screen number, and address
- Film classification and duration
- Cast and director information
- Booking URL and additional notes
- Movie Database link when available
The workflow is automatically triggered when the data transformation workflow completes successfully. It can also be triggered manually via workflow dispatch if needed.
No API keys are required for this workflow as it only processes existing data.
