Seret Movies Skill

Give any AI agent the ability to search Israeli movies, showtimes, ratings, trailers, and cinema info from seret.co.il — Israel's leading movie database.

What is this?

A single markdown file (SKILL.md) that teaches any AI agent how to fetch and parse movie data from seret.co.il. No code, no dependencies, no API keys — just documented endpoints and HTML parsing patterns that any LLM with web access can follow.

Also includes a Hebrew companion (SKILL_HE.md) with fully translated instructions.

Quick Start

Claude Code

# Global (all projects)
cp SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/seret-movies.md

# Or in a Claude Code plugin
cp SKILL.md ~/.claude/plugins/my-plugin/skills/seret-movies.md

Then just ask naturally:

> What movies are playing in Tel Aviv tonight?
> Tell me about the new Superman movie — is it worth watching?
> Show me the trailer for The Bride
> When is Project Hail Mary coming out?
> Find cinemas in Jerusalem

Hermes Agent

mkdir -p ~/.hermes/skills/seret-movies
cp SKILL.md SKILL_HE.md ~/.hermes/skills/seret-movies/

OpenClaw / Cursor / Other Agents

Drop SKILL.md into your agent's skill or prompt directory. The file uses standard markdown frontmatter — adapt the loading mechanism to your platform.

Raw LLM Usage

Paste the contents of SKILL.md into your system prompt. The skill instructs the LLM how to use web fetch tools to query seret.co.il endpoints.

How It Works

Seret.co.il has no public JSON API. This skill reverse-engineers 8 endpoints that return HTML fragments and server-rendered pages:

searchAUAjax.asp        GET   Search autocomplete
s_movies.asp            GET   Movie details (schema.org microdata + scores)
newmovies.asp           GET   Currently in theaters
comingsoonmovies.asp    GET   Upcoming releases
showTimesAjaxMovies.asp POST  Showtimes by movie (grouped by area)
movieTable.asp          POST  Showtimes by city + day
theatres.asp            GET   Cinemas by region
getExtraMovieRatingsAjax.asp POST Extra ratings (unreliable)

Movie detail pages include schema.org/Movie microdata for clean structured extraction, plus 5 dedicated score sections (Seret Score, viewer rating, critic score, popularity index, audience watch-intent poll) and direct trailer links (YouTube or MP4).

Area & City IDs

Area IDs (for showTimesAjaxMovies.asp — regional grouping):

ID	Region
6	Jerusalem
8	Haifa
13	Krayot / North
17	Tel Aviv
27	Beer Sheva / South
31	Sharon / Hashfela
34	Eilat
54	Hasharon

City IDs (for movieTable.asp — different numbering):

ID	City
41	Tel Aviv / Yafo
3	Beer Sheva
8	Haifa

For the full city list, parse the <select name="f_areaId"> dropdown from movieTable.asp.

Requirements

Your AI agent needs:

• Web fetch capability (HTTP GET + POST)
• HTML parsing (regex or DOM — the skill provides patterns for both)
• windows-1255 encoding support (Hebrew character set)

No API keys, authentication, or rate limits.
