Scrape real-time China box office data from Maoyan Piaofang β€” the canonical Chinese box-office data source. Extracts daily split revenue, market share, screening counts, seat occupancy, and cumulative totals for all currently-screening films.

What it does

Makes two API calls per run:

  1. Dashboard snapshot β€” GET piaofang.maoyan.com/dashboard-ajax returns all currently-screening films with live box-office data.
  2. Film detail enrichment β€” GET piaofang.maoyan.com/movie/<id> fetches genre tags, director, and audience intent count for each film.

Returns one record per film combining both data sources.

Notes on glyph obfuscation

Maoyan's API encodes box-office digit fields using Unicode Private Use Area (PUA) codepoints that rotate daily. This actor automatically decodes them by:

  1. Parsing the per-response WOFF font (URL embedded in the API response fontStyle field)
  2. Using a glyph shape fingerprint to map each PUA codepoint to the correct digit 0-9
  3. Falling back to an algebraic solver (using film market-share ratios as constraints) if the fingerprint table does not match a new font variant

Use cases

  • Hollywood studio Asia-Pacific box office monitoring
  • Equity research on Chinese cinema companies (CNMC, Wanda, Alibaba Pictures)
  • Entertainment ESG datasets requiring daily China market data
  • Cross-referencing with Douban movie ratings for sentiment plus commercial signal
