What is the correct structure to represent a list of movie showtimes on the same page? - schema.org

I am building a website to reference movie showtimes.
The site shows a now playing page with a list of movies, each movie has a page with the upcoming showtimes.
I added some structured data to enhance the way search engines sees the data on my website.
Here is what I have so far:
{
"#context": "https://schema.org",
"#type": "ItemList",
"numberOfItems": 2,
"itemListElement": [
{
"#type": "ListItem",
"name": "Screening Event 1",
"position": 1,
"item": {
"#context": "https://schema.org",
"#type": "ScreeningEvent",
"startDate": "2021-09-18T15:15:00.000Z",
"url": "http://localhost:3000/film/Boite-noire/663260#6144ab7a22b6d900165aa836",
"inLanguage": "fr",
"location": {
"#context": "https://schema.org",
"#type": "MovieTheater",
"name": "Pathé Tunis City",
"url": "http://localhost:3000/medium/pathe-tunis-city"
},
"workPresented": {
"#context": "https://schema.org",
"#type": "Movie",
"name": "Boîte noire",
"image": "https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w300_and_h450_bestv2/jIfFFC4YwiI8TVaGtbl1eT9BRaI.jpg",
"url": "http://localhost:3000/film/Boite-noire/663260",
"sameAs": "https://imdb.com/title/tt10341034",
"director": {
"#type": "Person",
"name": "Yann Gozlan"
}
}
}
},
{
"#type": "ListItem",
"name": "Screening Event 2",
"position": 2,
"item": {
"#context": "https://schema.org",
"#type": "ScreeningEvent",
"startDate": "2021-09-18T20:15:00.000Z",
"url": "http://localhost:3000/film/Boite-noire/663260#6144ab8522b6d900165aa837",
"inLanguage": "fr",
"location": {
"#context": "https://schema.org",
"#type": "MovieTheater",
"name": "Pathé Tunis City",
"url": "http://localhost:3000/medium/pathe-tunis-city"
},
"workPresented": {
"#context": "https://schema.org",
"#type": "Movie",
"name": "Boîte noire",
"image": "https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w300_and_h450_bestv2/jIfFFC4YwiI8TVaGtbl1eT9BRaI.jpg",
"url": "http://localhost:3000/film/Boite-noire/663260",
"sameAs": "https://imdb.com/title/tt10341034",
"director": {
"#type": "Person",
"name": "Yann Gozlan"
}
}
}
}
]
}
Is there a better way to represent this kind of information without repeating data ?

My suggestion gave the google guide for Carousel --> Single, all-in-one-page list:
{
"#context": "https://schema.org",
"#type": "Movie",
...
"#id":"https://cinema.com/lordofrings.html",
"name":"Lord of the rings",
"subjectOf":{
"#type": "ItemList",
"itemListElement": [
{
"#type": "ListItem",
"position": "1",
"item": {
"#type": "ScreeningEvent",
"url": "https://cinema.com/lordofrings.html#15",
"startDate": "2021-09-18T15:00:00+01:00"
}
},
{
"#type": "ListItem",
"position": "2",
"item": {
"#type": "ScreeningEvent",
"url": "https://cinema.com/lordofrings.html#18",
"startDate": "2021-09-18T18:00:00+01:00"
}
}
]
}
}
For ellipsis, set the required movie info and add all the required and recommended properties for the Google Rich Results Test.

Google Email RentalCarReservation Schema markup not showing up in Calendar

I added a RentalCarReservation schema markup to my email, which has passed all the tests for whitelisting by Google, except that it does not create the calendar event automatically. I do see the event card above my email in Google and the action button is also working, but whatever I do, the event is not shown in the calendar (despite having 'Smart features' enabled in all Google apps).
https://www.google.com/webmasters/markup-tester/ lists no issues. I thought it might have something to do with the formatting of the datetime and switched this up a few times, but the card above the email shows the correct day and time.
What might I be doing wrong? Any help is appreciated!

SDTT warning: "The property priceSpecification is not recognized by Google for an object of type Product."

I have the following JSON-LD and am trying to represent a pay monthly product such as a mobile phone contract which consists of an upfront fee and a monthly fee.
When I try to add the unitCode, I get the following warning:
The property priceSpecification is not recognized by Google for an object of type Product.
{
"#context": "https://schema.org/",
"#type": "Product",

},
"priceSpecification": {
"#type": "UnitPriceSpecification",

}
}
You need to add the priceSpecification property to the Offer, not to the Product.
{
"#context": "https://schema.org/",
"#type": "Product",
"offers": {
"#type": "Offer",
"priceSpecification": {
"#type": "UnitPriceSpecification"
}
}
}
You can find the expected domain/range of a property on its page. For priceSpecification, it says:
Used on these types
Demand
Offer
TradeAction
So, it’s not expected on Product.

aggregateRating within Review object

We're trying to use the aggregateRating tag but we're getting this warning in the SDTT:
The aggregateRating property inside a Review object applies to the review itself, as a creative work. Did you mean to use reviewRating instead.
We want to aggregate the reviews from all users, not use reviewRating (we already use that one for our own reviews).
Does anyone know how to fix this error?

When you add the aggregateRating property to the Review item, the aggregated rating is for the review, not for the reviewed item.
If the aggregated rating is for the reviewed item, you have to add the aggregateRating to this item (e.g., Movie).
If that is what you want, you can move the aggregateRating under Movie, e.g.:
{
"#context": "http://schema.org",
"#type": "Review",
"itemReviewed": {
"#type": "Movie",
"aggregateRating": {
"#type": "AggregateRating"
}
}
}

There are two ways to implement a list format for your structured data:
Summary page + multiple full details pages
List item A single, all-in-one-page list
My case is a sumary page of articles, and google guide say: "The summary page has a short description of each item in the list, and each description points to a separate details page that is focused entirely on one item."
well the markup must be.
{ "#context": "http://schema.org",
"#type": "ItemList",
"itemListElement":
[
{
"#type":"ListItem",
"position": 0,
"url": "http://dechado09.softgalia.com/productos/bonito-de-norte"
},
{
"#type":"ListItem",
"position": 1,
"url": "http://dechado09.softgalia.com/productos/merluza"
}
]

How to enable rich snippets using JSON-LD code for multi product pages?

I would like to make rich snippets for product pages appear in google SERPS. It's for a page that:
Contains multiple products that each have individual prices
Has an average aggregate rating
As far as I understand it's possible to add multiple products to one page in schema org using multiple offers. The problem is that I couldn't find the documentation on how to do that using JSON-LD. I've tried it myself in the code below but have no idea if this is correct. Can I just add offers like this or do I need to add them in a different way?
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"#context": "http://schema.org/",
"#type": "Product",
"aggregateRating": {
"#type": "AggregateRating",
"ratingValue": "[rating variable]",
"reviewCount": "[count variable]"
},
"name": "[product name]",
"offers": {
"#type": "Offer",
"price": "[price of product]",
"priceCurrency": "[currency]"
},
"name": "[product name]",
"offers": {
"#type": "Offer",
"price": "[price of product]",
"priceCurrency": "[currency]"
},
"name": "[product name]",
"offers": {
"#type": "Offer",
"price": "[price of product]",
"priceCurrency": "[currency]"
},
}
</script>
just create an array of the offers.
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"#context": "http://schema.org/",
"#type": "Product",
"name": "[name]",
"image": "[logo]",
"aggregateRating": {
"#type": "AggregateRating",
"ratingValue": "[rating],
"reviewCount": "[votes]"
},
"offers": [{
"#type": "Offer",
"priceCurrency": "[currency]",
"price": "[price]",
"category": {
"#type": "thing",
"name": "[name product]"
}
},{
"#type": "Offer",
"priceCurrency": "[currency]",
"price": "[price]",
"category": {
"#type": "thing",
"name": "[name product]"
}
},{
"#type": "Offer",
"priceCurrency": "[currency]",
"price": "[price]",
"Category": {
"#type": "thing",
"name": "[name product]"
}
}]
}
</script>
