Welcome to Stockholm Film Festivals API for developers. The API is a way for your application to access information on all parts of the festival - films, events, venues and more.

To get started all you have to do is to apply for a developer key on this page. They are delivered instantly and for free!

Before you get started here are few pointers:

Enough of boring reservations. Let's get started!

Table of contents

Basic usage

Information is retrieved by calling a specially constructed URL. For example:

http://api.stockholmfilmfestival.se/v1/festivals/list

All available URLs are listed further down on this page. In this documentation we will list all URLs relative to the server root.

Include API-key

You can include the API-key in your request in two ways:

  1. Include a variable in the URL /v1/festivals/list/API-Key/[your key goes here]/
  2. Include it in the HTTP-header of your request under the name X-API-KEY

Choose response format

If you do nothing the data will be returned as XML-files. By appending a parameter you can get a variety of formats. For example to get a json-formatted response you use:

/v1/festivals/list/format/json/

The formats supported are:

What time is it?

All timestamps returned from this API are Unix timestamps. In a few places both nicely formatted dates (2017-08-21) and Unix timestamps are returned side by side. Note that the nicely formatted dates are already in Stockholm local time whereas the timestamps are UTC. When timestamps are converted to formatted dates they are converted according to the timezone of the system doing the conversion.

Since all events are being held in Stockholm (after all it's called The Stockholm Film Festival) it's important that you know which time zone your app is using for conversion from timestamps. Make sure when converting from timestamps for events that you are in fact converting to "Europe/Stockholm". Otherwise your app might indicate a starting time for the event that is not at all relevant.

Also note that some timestamps are really just an indication of the relevant date. For example the start date of festivals are just accurate to the day, but the date that ticket sales starts are correct to the second as are the start time of events.

Events

The events section returns data about events. An event can be both a screening of a film as well as a party or a seminar. Our database contains event data from 2007 onwards since that is when the current database was taken into use.

Since all events display the availability of tickets make sure to check back quite regularly so that your users don't try to purchase tickets to an event that is actually sold out. We recommend at least hourly updates, but every 15 minutes is even better.

/v1/events/festival_list/festival_id/[festivalId]/

Returns a list of events for a given festival. Please note that a single festival consists of several hundred events. If possible use the since-parameter to limit the size of your results. Variables returned:

This function supports adding the parameter since/1503359205 to retrieve events modified after the given Unix timestamp.

/v1/events/date_list/date/[date]/

Returns a list of events for a given day expressed as a ISO-date: 2017-08-21. Variables returned:

/v1/events/venue_list/venue_id/[venueId]/date/[date]/
/v1/events/venue_list/venue_id/[venueId]/festival_id/[festivalId]/

Returns a list of events for a venue combined with a date or festivalId. The day should be expressed as a ISO-date: 2017-08-21. Variables returned:

You can pass both date and festivalId to this function, but if you pass a date outside the given festival no events will be returned. Quite logical, ey?

/v1/events/event/event_id/[eventId]/

Returns the full details for the event indicated by eventId. Variables returned:

Images

To make your application more lively you are welcome to use our images in the design of your application.

We provide two different images for each film; one preview image (generally a still image from the film) and a film poster. Both image types does not exist for all films, but our image cache will always return an image in the given size that can be displayed in your application.

Preview image formats

Poster image formats

In the information for a film the API will return two complete URL:s where images can be retrieved. However you will have to replace [IMAGESIZE] in the URL with the image size above that you want to fetch. So just turn:

http://www.stockholmfilmfestival.se/sites/default/files/styles/[IMAGESIZE]/public/film_images/2011/oslo_31_augusti.jpg

into:

http://www.stockholmfilmfestival.se/sites/default/files/styles/640x914/public/film_images/2011/oslo_31_augusti.jpg

and you can access the image with any http enabled application.

There is no technical limitation on fetching preview images in poster formats and vice versa, but from an aesthetic perspective we would really advice against this.

Note that these image sizes are pre configured and that arbitrary sizes can not be input. Should your application require different image sizes you can either process the image further in your application or contact us and we will consider adding additional presets.

If you decide to cache images in your application please remember that our images are frequently updated so please check back now and then and make sure to cache a fresh copy.
