We’ve launched a new divisionByAddress endpoint in the Divisions API. This new endpoint can be used to look up the current Open Civic Data Identifiers (OCD-IDs) for a given address. The OCD-IDs can then be used to look up information like Offices and Representatives in 3rd party datasets. 


Some reminders: 

  • As we announced earlier this year, the Representatives API will be turned down in April 2025. 

  • Until the turndown date, the Representatives API will be functional and supported as usual.

  • To avoid disruption, developers who rely on the OCD-IDs returned by the Representatives API should plan to migrate to the new divisionByAddress API by April 2025. 

  • There is no impact on the existing Elections or Divisions APIs, which will continue to be supported.
