scottfwalter Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) For whatever reason I couldn't get the existing Rotten Tomatoes Workflows to work so I wrote my own. Its pretty basic and has three main keywords: "movies" to search for movies "soon" movies coming out this month "opening" movies opening this weekend Too bad the Rotten Tomatoes API only shows coming soon movies for the current month. I tried to get the movies coming out for the next 3 months but they just don't expose an API for that purpose. Bummer. You will need to setup a Rotten Tomatoes API Key so that the workflow will work properly. First get a API key from http://developer.rottentomatoes.com. Once you have the API key use the keyword "rottenkey" to set the API key. This is my first published workflow so please let me know if you see any areas for improvement. Finally you can download the workflow from http://scottwalter.com/files/RottenTomatoes.alfredworkflow Edited June 29, 2014 by scottfwalter nebaon 1 Link to comment
Fofer Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Thanks for making and sharing this? Does it still work? I registered for an API key and entered it, but this workflow isn't working for me. Anyone else? Link to comment

nebaon Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Still working. Great! I tried around 5 workflows, that´s the one that made it. @Paba: Remember: You have to use the command rottenkey (your api) without hitting enter afterwards. Link to comment
johnyull Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've been using this without problem for a while. Great workflow! I've been looking for a good workflow to also include "similar" movies. Rotten Tomatoes has a great algorithm for recommending movies and added the API. Unfortunately, I'm out of my league. I tried to use Scott's "movie search" as a template for "similar search" but this is out of my league. IF anyone, wants to take a crack, they have a great example of API in action at on their API page: http://developer.rottentomatoes.com/docs/read/json/v10/Movie_Similar. Thanks, John Link to comment
