Iβm wondering if anyone has found (free) sources of data to use for live elections results, specifically the Presidential race? Iβve been building a map of poll results but would also like to put something together to watch the race tomorrow night.
Take a looj at the websites that have live stats im aure u can dig somthibg out of network tab in the dev tools
One promising item I found are some json files from Reutersβ¦
This one provides info on the candidates and the key for state IDβs: https://graphics.thomsonreuters.com/data/2024/us-elections/production/events/20241105/metadata.json
This one seems like it will provide the ballot counts(0) and possibly any declared winners(1): https://graphics.thomsonreuters.com/data/2024/us-elections/production/events/20241105/summary-votes/president.json
Of course I wonβt know anything for sure until tomorrow evening when states start releasing their counts, but I went ahead and wrote up some code to use the files. Itβs something at least, and the Reuters data should be fairly timely. I hope to play around with the collected info in real time, then maybe next election I can re-use the same code.
