data-combined

This repository contains the automated workflow for combining cinema data for the Clusterflick project.

Purpose

The combining workflow aggregates transformed data from all venues into a single unified dataset. This consolidated data serves as the primary data source for the Clusterflick application and other downstream consumers.

How It Works

The workflow executes the combine command to merge all venue data:

npx clusterflick/scripts combine

This command:

• Reads the transformed data from all venues
• Merges the data into a unified format
• Resolves any data conflicts or duplicates
• Generates a combined dataset with consistent structure
• Publishes the combined data as a release

Schedule

The workflow is automatically triggered when the data caching workflow completes successfully. It can also be triggered manually via workflow dispatch if needed.

Downstream Triggers

After successfully combining the data, this workflow triggers:

• data-matched - For enriching movie data with additional sources
• clusterflick.com - To update the main website with the latest data
• analysis.clusterflick.com - To update the analysis site with the latest data

Maintenance

Dependencies

The workflow requires API keys configured as GitHub secrets:

• MOVIEDB_API_KEY - For fetching movie metadata from The Movie Database
• PAT - Personal Access Token for publishing releases and triggering downstream workflows
