Hello,

Will there be any way to get live seat counts (and/or exit poll results) during the General Election? After doing some searching, I feel like maybe this was part of the old Politics API but I don't know whether anyone provides this anymore.

I'd love to make a Tidbyt applet showing:

Live seat counts for CON/LAB/LD/etc. etc.
Voter turnout %
"100/650 declared"

And it'd be lovely if I could pull the exit poll results from somewhere until the first constituencies start declaring.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for either the Guardian API, or another API I can base it on? 🤞
