API Root ¶

/.json

Example: https://wheredoivote.co.uk/api/beta/.json

The initial API entry point for discovering endpoints.

Retrieve the Entry Point ¶

Request GET /.json

Response 200

Headers:

Content-Type: application/json

Body:

{
  "councils": "https://wheredoivote.co.uk/api/beta/councils.json",
  "pollingstations": "https://wheredoivote.co.uk/api/beta/pollingstations.json",
  "pollingdistricts": "https://wheredoivote.co.uk/api/beta/pollingdistricts.json"
}

Polling Station Finder ¶

The /postcode and /address endpoints find a user's polling station based on their home address. This allows you to leverage Democracy Club's data to integrate a polling station finder into your website or app.

A 200 OK response from /postcode or /address is an object containing the following top-level keys:

polling_station_known: (boolean) - Do we know where this user should vote?
postcode_location: (object, nullable) - A GeoJSON Feature containing a Point object describing the centroid of the input postcode.
polling_station: (object, nullable) - A GeoJSON polling station feature
addresses: (array) - An array of address objects listing the addresses applicable to this request (if necessary).
council: (object, nullable) - A Council object describing the local authority which covers this postcode. If we do not know the user's polling station, this can be used to provide contact info for their local council. Council may be null if we are not able to determine the user's council.
custom_finder: (string, nullable) - If we don't know a user's polling station, sometimes we can provide the URL of a polling station finder provided by their local council.
report_problem_url: (string, nullable) - If we provide a polling station result, this URL may be used to provide a user with a back-channel to report inaccurate data.
metadata: (object, nullable) - This field may be used to supply additional information about an election, particularly if there is some unusual condition or event for voters to be aware of.

Postcode search ¶

/postcode/{postcode}.json

Example: https://wheredoivote.co.uk/api/beta/postcode/SW1A1AA.json

Parameters

postcode string ( required )

Whitespace in postcodes is ignored, so format may be SW1A1AA or SW1A 1AA

Example: SW1A1AA

The entry point to a polling station search is a call to the /postcode endpoint. A valid postcode search may result in one of 3 outcomes:

We hold data for this area and all voters with this postcode vote at the same polling station.
We hold data for this area but voters with this postcode don't all vote at the same polling station. To find the user's polling station, we must make a second API call to the /address endpoint.
We do not hold data for this area.

Polling Districts ¶

The /pollingdistricts endpoint provides access to the polling district data underpinning our polling station finder. Where possible a polling district contains a polling station object describing the station which serves this district. This may optionally be null if this district is an orphan district. An orphan district occurrs where we hold the boundary of a polling district but we don't know the corresponding polling station. The polling station which serves a district does not necessarily have to be located inside the district it serves.
