Any sources of JSON data for live US election results?

Most election data comes from the Associated Press, but I don’t see a place to purchase API access, may only be available to news orgs.

I’ll look around, I haven’t done any work with the AP in years though.

Yeah I found the same on the AP data. I also found that reddit thread, but haven’t been able to find a valid URL for this year’s election. Maybe they don’t make it available until voting starts?

Some states have open data. Unsure if it’s in Json though.

One promising item I found are some json files from Reuters…

This one provides info on the candidates and the key for state ID’s: graphics.thomsonreuters.com/data/…/metadata.json

This one seems like it will provide the ballot counts(0) and possibly any declared winners(1): graphics.thomsonreuters.com/…/president.json

Of course I won’t 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. It’s 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.

In my state (Vermont), the Secretary of State has an rss feed that basically presents the results as an xml file. I’m using that to make some local results spreadsheets. Could be other states have similar things.
