const areas = await getAreas();

const saveAreas = await getAreas(true);

getScheduleDates

import { getScheduleDates } from "finnkino2json";

const datesForFirstArea = await getScheduleDates();

const datesForSpecificArea = await getScheduleDates({ areaId: "1041" });
const datesForSpecificAreaAnd Save = await getScheduleDates({ areaId: "1041", storeXml: true })

getSchedule

If you do not provide any arguments, the function fetches the schedule for ALL events, in the first theatre area on the list for the current day.

import { getSchedule } from "finnkino2json";

const schedule = await getSchedule();
const scheduleForArea = await getSchedule({ areaId: "1041" });
const scheduleForAreaAndDate = await getSchedule(
  {
    areaId: "1041",
    date: "2022-12-31"
  }
);
const scheduleForAreaDateAndEvent = await getSchedule(
  {
    areaId: "1041",
    date: "2022-12-31",
    eventId: 303601
  }
);
const scheduleForAreaDateAndEventForThreeDays = await getSchedule(
  {
    areaId: "1041",
    date: "2022-12-31",
    eventId: 303601,
    numberOfDays: 3,
