Read-only San Francisco movie showtimes. Ticket links are always https://scenef.com/go/{screeningId}; film pages https://scenef.com/film/{slug}. Times are SF wall-clock. Start with scenef_now to check freshness, scenef_plan_movie_night for recommendations. Accuracy is computed, not claimed: every showtime carries a confidence level, a source tier, and a last-verified time, and the running record of our own verification checks — failures included — is public at https://scenef.com/api/accuracy. Call scenef_accuracy for that record as numbers you can quote, or pass response_format: "detailed" to any showtime tool to get the confidence level and verified_at on each showtime. Chain showtimes (AMC, Regal, Apple Cinemas), when present, are licensed from an aggregator rather than read from the theater — they are labeled source_tier licensed-feed and carry the weakest claim on the site.

scenef_whats_playingRanked list of films playing San Francisco theaters in a given window (tonight, tomorrow, the weekend, or a date), with optional genre and format filters.
Inferred read-onlyscenef_search_showtimesUpcoming showtimes for one film (title or slug; fuzzy-matched — ambiguous queries return candidates), grouped by theater with local times, tags (35mm/qa/sold-out), the night each show belongs to, and a ticket link per showtime.
Inferred read-onlyscenef_theater_infoOne SF theater's card: address, neighborhood, website, ticketing note, structured discounts (label/detail/day), amenities, its next 5 showtimes with ticket links, and its calendar feed url.
Inferred read-onlyscenef_film_detailsThe full card for one film: title, year, runtime, genres, directors, cast, overview, rating, trailer and poster urls when present, every upcoming showtime with venue/time/ticket link, and a last-night flag when the run is ending.
Inferred read-onlyscenef_plan_movie_nightThe concierge: give it a window and a taste profile and it returns 2-4 complete plans — film + specific showtime + theater + why it fits — each with ticket and calendar links, plus one wildcard pick outside the stated genres.
Inferred read-onlyscenef_discountsEvery structured discount across all SF theaters — venue, label, detail, and day-bound days — with the ones that apply today flagged.
Inferred read-onlyscenef_coming_soonFilms whose first SF screening is more than 48 hours out, sorted by first night — the on-sale radar for runs worth booking early.
Inferred read-onlyscenef_nowThe cheap is-anything-on call: how many screenings tonight, the next 5 curtains city-wide with venue/time/film, and dataset freshness per source.
Inferred read-onlyscenef_accuracyAccuracy is computed, not claimed: every showtime carries a confidence level, a source tier, and a last-verified time, and the running record of our own verification checks — failures included — is public at https://scenef.
