Provides polling places, early vote locations, contest data, election officials, and government representatives for U.S. residential addresses.
Bring your own key. This API needs your own Google Civic Information API key - get one from the provider, add it once below, and the proxy injects it on every call. Your OmniStream plan covers the unified SDK, key storage, and proxy - the provider's own rate limits still apply to your key.
This is a community listing. If you own this API, you can request ownership.

No reviews yet. Be the first to rate this API.
Yes. Google Civic Information API uses apiKey authentication, so you bring your own key from the provider. You store it once on OmniStream and the proxy injects it into every call, so your code only ever sends your Omni key.
Provides polling places, early vote locations, contest data, election officials, and government representatives for U.S. residential addresses. It exposes 5 endpoints over GET, including GET /civicinfo/v2/divisions, GET /civicinfo/v2/elections, GET /civicinfo/v2/representatives.
Install the OmniStream SDK for your language and call Google Civic Information API through it. The client is generated from this API's OpenAPI spec, so parameters and responses are fully typed, and the same client also calls every other API in the marketplace.
You can start on the free plan. OmniStream charges for the unified SDK, key storage and proxy rather than for Google Civic Information API itself, and Google Civic Information API's own rate limits still apply to your provider key.
