Python API

Elex provides a Python API that encapsulates Associated Press Election API results as Python objects.

To use the election loader manually from within your project:

from elex.api import Election

election = Election(electiondate='2015-11-03', testresults=False, liveresults=True, is_test=False)
races = election.races

Now you can process or load races.

Models:

• elex.api.Election
• elex.api.ReportingUnit
• elex.api.Race
• elex.api.Candidate
• elex.api.BallotMeasure
• elex.api.CandidateReportingUnit
• elex.api.APElection
• elex.api.Elections

Utilities:

• elex.api.utils
• elex.api.maps
