Powered by the **BookMyShow Scraper** Apify actor.\n\n### \ud83d\udca1 What you can do with it\n- Get first-look alerts the moment a movie you're waiting for opens for booking\n- Track new concerts and live events landing in your city\n- Feed a running log of releases into your own dashboard instead of checking BookMyShow by hand\n\n### \ud83d\ude80 Setup (2 minutes)\n1. Install the **Apify** node: nodes panel \u2192 search \"Apify\" \u2192 **Install**\n2. Add your free Apify token as an **Apify API** credential \u2014 grab one at [console.apify.com/account/integrations](https://console.apify.com/account/integrations)\n3. Add a **Telegram API** credential (create a bot via @BotFather, then message it once and use @get_id_bot to find your chat ID)\n4. Set `city` to any BookMyShow city (`mumbai`, `delhi-ncr`, `bengaluru`, ...) and `scrapeMode` to `movies` or `events`\n5. Click **Test workflow**\n\n### \u2705 Good to know\n- New Apify accounts include free usage, so you can try this at no cost\n- The first run alerts on everything currently listed (nothing to compare against yet) \u2014 real \"new since last check\" alerts start from the second run onward\n- No BookMyShow login needed; the actor uses Indian residential proxy by default since BookMyShow blocks non-Indian traffic\n\n**Actor:** https://apify.com/getascraper/bookmyshow-scraper"
