I’m wondering if anyone has found (free) sources of data to use for live elections results, specifically the Presidential race? I’ve been building a map of poll results but would also like to put something together to watch the race tomorrow night.

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.

A reddit poster had some JSONs from New York Times four years ago for 2020 but I’m not sure if you can make them work for 2024.

I’ll look around, I haven’t done any work with the AP in years though.
Nope, no access. I’m not sure if their process but I found this.
API Keys
An API key is the access key required for making API calls. If you have not received your API key, please contact AP Customer Support.
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?
