2024 Plans: Wait and see

[alex]

We do not currently have any plans with respect to the 2024 election. If it appears that we can provide a useful interface to election results data, we may build something. We're just going to have to wait and see. We'll post an update here if we do build anything.

Remember to vote!

I just want to say how valuable this was in keeping me sane during 2020. If y'all do anything this year, trust me there are those of us who desperately need it !

@alex I'm building my own scraper for personal use to track this election. I'm just wondering where did you find the url to the nyt json data?

[coopersbeckett]

i honestly don’t know. i think a friend sent it to me when i was panicking. I had to search through my history to find it again, though.

I also referenced your data last time - I would love it if there were something similar this time, and am planning my own analysis on top of it that I've shared with people and they are asking me about it for this time. If this isn't built this time, I'd love to know of any new sources that @ninjanerdbgm you develop or the raw data that you are looking for @coopersbeckett . Thanks!

I loved this in 2020. Is there not a comparable NYT API for 2024 data? It’s not as easy as just adjusting the url?

I tried a quick s/2020/2024/ and a few random tries on the 2020 URL, but none worked. Didn't dig too deeply on the site though.

The new URL is https://static01.nyt.com/elections-assets/pages/data/2024-11-05/results-president.json The payload is different, so this scraper's original code won't work, but you can adjust it to the new data.
