Cómo usar la API

En este documento, se describe lo que necesitas saber para usar la API de Civic Information de Google. Puedes consultar en estas Preguntas frecuentes sobre la API de Civic Info que incluye información básica sobre la API y preguntas frecuentes de nuestro foro de usuarios. Además, puedes ver dos ejemplos a continuación, el primero para buscar información para votantes durante una elección y segundo para buscar representantes electos.

Identifica tu aplicación para Google

Tu aplicación debe identificarse cada vez que envíe una solicitud a la API de Google Civic Information. Para ello, debe incluir una clave de API con cada solicitud.

Adquiere y usa una clave de API

Para adquirir una clave de API, haz lo siguiente:

  1. Abre la página Credenciales en la Consola de APIs.
  2. En esta API, se admiten dos tipos de credenciales. Crea las credenciales apropiadas para tu proyecto:
    • OAuth 2.0: Siempre que se soliciten datos privados del usuario, mediante tu aplicación se debe enviar un token OAuth 2.0 junto con la solicitud. En primer lugar, se envía un ID de cliente y, posiblemente, un secreto de cliente para obtener un token a través de la aplicación. Puedes generar credenciales OAuth 2.0 para aplicaciones web, cuentas de servicio o aplicaciones instaladas.

      Nota: Como esta API no tiene ningún método que requieren autorización de OAuth 2.0, quizás solo debas obtener Claves de API, que se describen a continuación. Sin embargo, si tu aplicación llama a otras APIs que requieren la autorización del usuario, de todas formas, necesitas credenciales de OAuth 2.0.

      Para obtener más información, consulta la documentación de OAuth 2.0.

    • Claves de API: Si mediante una solicitud no se proporciona un token de OAuth 2.0, entonces se debe enviar una clave de API. Con la clave de API, se identifica tu proyecto y se proporciona acceso a la API, la cuota y los informes.

      En la API, se admiten varios tipos de restricciones sobre las claves de API. Si la clave de API que no existe, crea una clave de API en la consola haz clic en Crear credenciales  > Clave de API Puedes restringir la clave antes de usarla en producción. Para ello, haz clic en Restringir clave y selecciona una de las Restricciones.

Para garantizar la seguridad de tus claves de API, sigue las prácticas recomendadas de uso seguro de las claves de API.

Una vez que tienes una clave de API, puedes usar tu aplicación para adjuntar el parámetro de consulta key=yourAPIKey a todas las URL de solicitud.

La clave de API en las URL se incorpora de manera segura, por lo que no necesita codificación.

Restricciones de la clave de API

Tu clave de API no tiene restricciones de forma predeterminada, lo que no es seguro si cualquier persona puede leerla (si se coloca en un navegador, por ejemplo) o acceder al dispositivo en el que se encuentra. Te recomendamos que apliques una restricción a esta clave de API para impedir el uso no autorizado.

Para agregar una restricción, haz clic en Restringir clave en la Clave de API creada. cuadro de diálogo. Aparecerá el panel de configuración de la clave de API:

El tipo de restricción que selecciones dependerá de las necesidades de tu aplicación:

  • aplicaciones web que interactúan directamente con la API (es decir, no a través de cualquier backend o middleware) debes agregar una restricción de URL de referencia HTTP. Sin embargo, ten en cuenta que esas aplicaciones expondrán su clave de API públicamente; prefieres usar un esquema de autenticación de cuenta de servicio en su lugar.
  • Las aplicaciones de backend que no admiten cuentas de servicio (por ejemplo, dispositivos incorporados que no tienen un lenguaje compatible en la biblioteca cliente) deben agregar una restricción de direcciones IP para protegerlas del uso de clientes en diferentes direcciones IP.
  • Las aplicaciones para Android deben agregar una restricción de apps para Android y el nombre de tu paquete y la huella digital del certificado de firma SHA-1.
  • Las aplicaciones para iOS deben agregar una restricción de apps para iOS y agregar cualquier paquete de iOS identificadores para restringir las llamadas a la API a estos paquetes de iOS.

Para las pruebas, es posible que no quieras aplicar ninguna restricción. Sin embargo, se recomienda que agregues una restricción a esta clave o la borres una vez implementas tu aplicación en producción.

Ejemplo de electionQuery

Aquí te mostramos un ejemplo (con la versión 'v2' de la API) de cómo llamar al API de electionQuery para obtener una lista de las identificaciones electorales válidas y, luego, mediante el la API de voterInfoQuery con un la dirección registrada del votante para obtener la información de una elección elegida.

Usa choiceQuery para obtener una lista de IDs de elecciones válidos:

  https://www.googleapis.com/civicinfo/v2/elections?key=<YOUR_API_KEY>
  

Respuesta de electionQuery:

{
 "kind": "civicinfo#electionsqueryresponse",
 "elections": [
  {
   "id": "2000",
   "name": "VIP Test Election",
   "electionDay": "2013-06-06"
  },
  {
   "id": "2124",
   "name": "Rhode Island 2012 Primary Election",
   "electionDay": "2012-09-11"
  },
  {
   "id": "2126",
   "name": "Delaware 2012 Primary Election",
   "electionDay": "2012-09-11"
  }
 ]
}

voterInfoQuery con curl

Usa curl para enviar a publisherInfoQuery solicitud del ID electoral VIP de prueba 2000 y votante en la dirección (prueba) 340 Main St, Venice, CA 90291. Puedes consultar la respuesta devoterInfoQuery.

curl "https://www.googleapis.com/civicinfo/v2/voterinfo?key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&address=340%20Main%20St.%20Venice%20CA&electionId=2000"

voteInfoQuery con la biblioteca cliente de la API de Google para JavaScript

En este ejemplo, se emite la misma nota InfoQuery que en el ejemplo anterior de curl, pero usa la Biblioteca cliente de JavaScript. La respuesta de voterInfoQuery es la misma que la respuesta de ejemplo de curl.

representaInfoQuery con curl

Este es un ejemplo de cómo buscar representantes electos para una dirección. Usa curl para enviar una solicitud de representativeInfoByAddress para la dirección (de prueba) 1263 Pacific Ave. Kansas City, KS (consulta la respuesta de representativeInfoByAddress, a continuación):

curl "https://www.googleapis.com/civicinfo/v2/representatives?key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&address=1263%20Pacific%20Ave.%20Kansas%20City%20KS"

Cómo informar un error

¿Falta información o hay información incorrecta sobre un funcionario electo? En ocasiones, los funcionarios públicos abandonan el cargo antes de que termine su mandato o cambian su información de contacto. Infórmanos sobre cambios como estos que aún no se reflejan en los datos que mostramos.

Confirmaremos tu denuncia con otros usuarios, proveedores de datos o fuentes de datos oficiales del Gobierno. Debido al volumen de informes, es posible que no podamos responderte directamente. Si se aprueba, el cambio podría demorar en aparecer en los resultados de la API.

Para informar un error, completa este formulario.
