Districts API · Google Civic replacement

Google Civic Representatives replacement

Google retired the Civic Information API's Representatives endpoint on April 30, 2025, with no direct successor. /api/address/districtsis the working replacement: one street address in, congressional, state senate, state house, county, place, and school district out — plus the district a voter is actually in this November, in the states that redrew.

Rows that Google Civic never returned are the point: the state's own enacted 2026 map, stamped with a litigation status, beside the seated congressional district — so a caller knows both who represents an address today and which line the seat is decided on this November.

02What comes back

181

districts redrawn across all ten 2026 redistricting states

district and jurisdiction layers per address — congressional, state senate, state house, county, place, school

3 credits

per call — no subscription required

Congressional: The seat, the member's name, party, and official site — House and Senate both. In the ten states that redrew for 2026, the 2026-line seat rides beside it with its litigation status.
State senate & house: Both chambers on every address, each with the sitting legislators: name, party, email and official page, as an array because multi-member districts exist.
County, place & school district: County and incorporated place by name, plus the unified, elementary, or secondary school district that actually serves the address — read from whichever of the three Census layers applies.
Sourcing on every row: Every district names its Census TIGER/Line vintage. A 2026-line row states its enacting statute and stays honest when a lookup fails upstream — no district is ever asserted as absent when the truth is that the call did not complete.
