AlloCiné Movies Scraper (France: now playing & coming soon)

Get the movies showing in French cinemas from AlloCiné, France's reference movie site, as clean structured data.

What you can do with it

• Track the box-office line-up: every movie now playing, with its number of showtimes across France.
• Compare reception: press and audience ratings side by side.
• Plan content and marketing: this week's releases and the most awaited upcoming movies.
• Feed apps and newsletters: synopsis, cast, director, genres and poster for each movie.

Input

Field	What it does
Which movies	now-playing, this-week (releases of the week) or coming-soon (most awaited).
Maximum number of movies	The run stops once this many movies are saved.

Output

One record per movie:

{
  "id": "327941",
  "url": "https://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=327941.html",
  "title": "La Vie d'une femme",
  "releaseDate": "2026-09-09",
  "durationMinutes": 98,
  "genres": ["Comédie dramatique"],
  "directors": ["Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet"],
  "cast": ["Léa Drucker", "Mélanie Thierry", "Charles Berling"],
  "pressRating": 3.7,
  "audienceRating": 3.7,
  "showtimesCount": 1033,
  "synopsis": "Gabrielle se consacre corps et âme à son métier…",
  "posterUrl": "https://fr.web.img4.acsta.net/c_310_420/img/46/d4/46d4170eaca90b7bd1dae27db18ed739.jpg"
}

Ratings are out of 5. showtimesCount is the number of showtimes AlloCiné lists in France for the movie. Export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the Apify API.

Good to know

• Each page gives about 15 movies with full data: fast and cheap, no browser or proxy needed.
• Ratings and showtimes are empty when AlloCiné has none yet (for example for upcoming movies).

Why this one

• Three lists in one actor. Movies now playing, this week's releases and the most awaited upcoming movies, chosen with a single input field.
• A box-office signal. showtimesCount is the number of screenings scheduled across France for each movie.
• Press and audience ratings side by side, with director, cast, genres, synopsis and poster in the same record.

Pricing

Pay per result: $2.00 per 1,000 movies, plus $0.00005 per run start. For example, 100 movies cost about $0.20. You only pay for the movies you receive, and platform usage is included in that price.

Run it from your code

JavaScript:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('bibian/allocine-movies-scraper').call({
  list: 'now-playing',
  maxItems: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(token="<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("bibian/allocine-movies-scraper").call(run_input={
    "list": "now-playing",
    "maxItems": 50
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account, cookies or a proxy for AlloCiné? No. The actor reads publicly visible pages only.

How do I keep a movie calendar up to date? Save a task for the list you follow (now-playing, this-week or coming-soon) and schedule it daily or weekly with Apify Schedules. Deduplicate on the id field if you keep your own copy.

Which formats can I export? JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table or RSS, from the dataset page or through the API.

Can I connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets? Yes, through Apify integrations and webhooks.

Is it legal to scrape? The actor collects publicly visible movie listings and respects the robots.txt rules of the site. How you use the data is your responsibility: check the site's terms and the laws that apply to you, for example the GDPR.

Something does not work? Open an issue in the Issues tab. Every public actor is test-run daily and the broken ones are repaired.

Did this save you time? A short review on the Store page helps other people find the actor, and tells me what to improve next.
