go-alamodrango

Web scraper bot that sends text messages when Alamo Drafthouse posts new movie showtimes.

I'm an Alamo Drafthouse regular. They update the showtimes manually, sometime between Monday-Wednesday. I got tired of refreshing the page every hour, so I decided to make a bot to do it for me.

Gotta get those good seats! Continuing to expand functionality and support.
