It’s been a long time since I wanted to develop this tool and also publish it.

I will go about the first part of the process, which is actually what I’ve reached so far. The next part will be about the future improvements, and cons of the approach .

TL;DR

I have a CLI (command-line interface) that allows me to book shows in any Pathé Cinema of France via a CINEPASS DUO (monthly paid subscription).

My code is available on my github repo.

It’s a single file ready to run (provided that you have installed the required dependencies).

You should have a valid pair of card number / last name to make it work till the end. Also, this tool won’t bypass captchas so don’t blame it if you’re trying to book 50 shows in under a hour.

Right after it asks for a mail address to send the ticket 😍
