🎬 BookMyShow scraper

Get real movie and event listings from BookMyShow, with cast, director, and showtime details, in one run.

BookMyShow scraper pulls current movie and live event listings from BookMyShow across major Indian cities. For movies, get the cast, director, synopsis, and runtime. For events, get the venue, date, time, and starting price. No account or login needed.

🔍 What does BookMyShow scraper do?

This actor visits BookMyShow's city listing pages for movies or events, then opens each listing's own page to pull its full details. You get everything shown on the public listing: title, rating, language, and certification, plus the deeper details only visible on the item's own page.

For movies, that means cast, director, synopsis, runtime, release date, and available formats. For events, that means venue name, date, time, duration, age limit, and the starting ticket price. Run it on demand, or schedule it to catch new releases and events as they go live.

💡 Why use BookMyShow scraper?

• Entertainment researchers track which movies and events are live in a city, with full cast and director detail for content analysis.
• Ticket price analysts monitor starting prices for concerts, plays, and live shows across cities to spot pricing trends.
• Event aggregators build a directory of live shows, complete with venue and schedule detail, without visiting each listing by hand.
• Local marketers scan what movies and events are drawing attention in a specific city before planning a campaign.

🧭 Tips for best results

• Turn off detail fetching for a quick scan of what's currently live in a city. Turn it on when you need cast, venue, or pricing detail.
• Combine the language and certification filters to narrow down to exactly the audience segment you're researching.
• Switch to the Movie details or Event details view in the Dataset tab to see the enrichment fields without scrolling past unrelated columns.

❓ FAQ

Does this actor need a BookMyShow account or login? No. It reads listings that anyone can already view on BookMyShow without signing in.

Can I get seat availability or live showtimes by date? No. BookMyShow only shows per-showtime seat availability inside a logged-in booking session. This actor stays on the public, anonymous tier and does not extract that.

Why do some movies or events have fewer fields than others? Some listings genuinely don't publish every field, for example a new release with no rating yet, or an event with no listed age limit. This actor only reports what BookMyShow has actually published.

Which cities are supported? Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, and Chandigarh.

I found a bug or a city that doesn't work. What should I do? Open an issue on this actor's Issues tab with details of what went wrong. If you need a custom research tool built around your own workflow, reach out and we're happy to help.
