[Card views, themes and publishing](/docs/cards/). [Browse the gallery](/apps/#cards).

## Data and privacy

Feed: `screenrig.showtimes/v1`.

Feed documents carry source attribution. The Player supplies the feed to the card.

## Properties

For theme, background, accent and position, see [Common properties](/docs/cards/#common-properties).

Set static properties in `params`. Bind `data` to a project card data key for live values; that document holds only dynamic properties. Without a data key, put the complete configuration in `params`. Nested rows describe the contents of their parent property.

```console
curl --request PUT "https://api.screenrig.ai/api/card-data/showtimes-main" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $SCREENRIG_TOKEN" \
  --header "ScreenRig-Project: $SCREENRIG_PROJECT" \
