What is the 'API for Politics'

When we tell someone we’re ‘Building The API for Politics’ the most frequent response is a puzzled look.

And that’s OK.

Because we’re not just serving up a rehash of the same products every other vendor is selling.

We’ve taken the routine functions of any political technology project, like processing a credit card, sending an e-mail to the Hill or caging a direct mail check, and reduced then to a set of webservices we call ‘The API’

You build your products, regardless of platform or language, on top of these services, free from the tedium of building a world class database backend. Our 20 years experience in political data has already done that, and made sure it can store all your client’s data, from Twitter followers to direct mail results, in a single place – the ultimate silo buster.

So go build that IPhone fundraising app, or the VOIP phone bank or even a QR contest for your next convention. Because with the API for Politics, you’re only limited by your creativity.
