Reference Guide#
Introduction#
The Cicero API is a web service that matches addresses or locations to legislative districts and returns contact information for elected officials.
Things you might want to use the Cicero API for:
Provide an elected official lookup tool on your website.
Create constituent records in your database.
Display district boundaries on a map.
Show elected official profiles in your app.
Base URL#
https://app.cicerodata.com/v3.1
Licensing#
There are two possible ways you can authenticate with the Cicero API:
API Key authentication
User ID and temporary Token authentication
These credentials allow access to the Cicero API and calls made with these credentials will use your credits.
API Key#
The My Profile page is where you’ll update your account information and generate an API Key. The API key will give you access to Cicero’s API resources.
With an API Key, format your authenticated calls as:
/{resource}?key={api_key}
User ID and Token#
Call for a temporary token and user ID from the /token/new.json endpoint.
/{resource}?user={user_id}&token={token}
Tokens are valid until the end of the following day, Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). For example, if it is Tuesday at 7 p.m. EDT (23:00 UTC), the token will be valid through Wednesday at 8 p.m. EDT (Thursday 00:00 UTC).
Setup your application to handle expiring tokens by calling for a new token whenever Cicero returns a 403 Forbidden HTTP response code. Then, try the call again.
End Points#
Location Query#
The primary way to get information from Cicero’s database of officials and districts is through a location query.
When you include API call parameters that provide a location in the form of a latitude & longitude coordinate, street address, or postal code, Cicero will find that location on the Earth’s surface and match it against a range of district boundaries. In this way, you can determine which elected official represents any home, business, or place in regions with Cicero coverage.
Responses for these location queries can also be filtered by the type of district.
Latitude & Longitude#
A location query with a latitude and longitude coordinate pair requires two parameters:
Code |
Description |
|---|---|
lat |
The latitude of the location. |
long |
The longitude of the location. |
The response will list objects with boundaries, or constituent boundaries, that contain the coordinate location.
Using an exact latitude and longitude coordinate is more accurate than geocoding with a street address or postal code.
Address#
A location query with a street address uses a geocoding service to translate that information to a latitude and longitude coordinate, then matches the location to Cicero’s district boundaries.
Use the search_loc parameter to search for an address as a single string or use a parameter for each of the address components.
Searching with a single address string:
Code |
Description |
|---|---|
search_loc |
One line address or a single search string. |
Searching with multiple address components:
Code |
Description |
|---|---|
search_address |
The street address of the location. |
search_neighborhood |
The official neighborhood of the location (in countries with postal designations e.g., Mexico). |
search_city |
The city of the location. |
search_state |
The state of the location. |
search_postal |
The postal code of the location. |
search_country |
The country of the location (Use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code). |
The response will include a list of candidate locations for the provided address. An address that is vague or an address that could refer to more than one place will have multiple candidate locations. The location that is most likely to be correct is listed first.
Each candidate location object includes metadata about the geocoding match and a list of objects with boundaries, or constituent boundaries, that contain the geocoded address location.
Using a street address is less accurate than using a latitude and longitude coordinate, but more accurate than using only a postal code.
If a location query does not return any candidate location objects, there will be an empty response.
Postal Code#
A location query with only a postal code uses a geocoding service to approximate a center point for the postal code, then matches the location to Cicero’s district boundaries.
In the United States, postal codes are known as ZIP Codes. In addition to standard five-digit ZIP Codes, Cicero will also match to ZIP+4 or nine digit ZIP Codes. Using a ZIP+4 will be more accurate than a five-digit ZIP Code. ZIP+4 Codes can be formatted with or without the hyphen.
Use the search_postal and search_country parameter to search for a postal code.
Searching with a single address string:
Code |
Description |
|---|---|
search_postal |
The postal code of the location. |
search_country |
The country of the location (Use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code). |
/official#
Introduction#
Cicero tracks elected officials and makes their information available through the official resource. The default response ordering is by last_name, first_name.
Cost: 1 credit
Use location queries on this resource. You can also query for officials using the official’s name.
Response results include a list of official objects. By default, up to 40 officials are returned, but you can increase that up to 200 with the max parameter.
Order by District Type#
Passing order=district_type as a query parameter will cause the returned officials to be sorted by the type of district with which each official is associated. This sorting applies to legislative (including executive) districts only.
The default sort order is:
Transnational
National
State
Local
Within each level, the ordering is:
Executive
Upper
Lower
After district ordering has been applied, officials are sorted by last_name, first_name.
The district-level ordering can be reversed by passing the sort=desc parameter.
Query by Name#
Use name parameters to query for information about a specific official. The response will include all officials currently in office who match that name.
Code |
Description |
|---|---|
last_name |
The official’s last name |
valid_range |
The dates during which district is valid between. Dates should be specified in a YYYY-MM-DD format and separated by a comma. Use ALL to return every district in all valid date ranges. |
valid_on_or_after |
The date the district is valid on or after. Date should be specified in a YYYY-MM-DD format. |
valid_on_or_before |
The date the district is valid on or before. Date should be specified in a YYYY-MM-DD format. |
first_name (optional) |
The official’s first name |
Combine any of these parameters with a location query to filter responses.

Introduction#
The “Officials by Region” resource provides the ability to list elected officials by level and region rather than for a single geographic location.
Cost: 50 credits
Permission: Please contact the Cicero Team to request access to this resource.
Response results include a list of abbreviated official objects, which contain a limited subset of the information in the full Officials response. By default, the first 100 officials will be returned, but see the Pagination section for how to use the max and offset parameters to access the complete set of results.
The endpoint is filtered by district type and region, and sorted by last_name, first_name.
Code |
Description |
|---|---|
district_type |
The type of district. |
country |
The country of the official’s district. |
state |
The state of the official’s district. |
city |

All parameters can be provided more than once to include multiple values. Results will be filtered to districts matching any of the values for a given parameter.
Which parameters are required depends on what district types are selected:
Query param |
NATIONAL_* |
STATE_* |
LOCAL_* |
|---|---|---|---|
country |
X |
X |
X |
state |
X |
X |
|
city |
X |
Since the endpoint supports looking up officials from multiple levels in a single request, the region filters are applied differently depending on the district type. Query parameters will filter different district types as follows:
Query param |
NATIONAL_* |
STATE_* |
LOCAL_* |
|---|---|---|---|
country |
X |
X |
X |
state |
X |
X |
X |
city |
X |
In other words:
NATIONAL_* district types will filter Officials to all districts matching country and state, but will ignore city.
STATE_* district types will filter in the same way as NATIONAL. This means that retrieving a state-level chamber will return all officials in that chamber, even if the request includes a city filter.
LOCAL_* district types will be filtered by country, state, and city.

/coverage#
Introduction#
The coverage resource provides a current list of national, region, and local governments for which Cicero maintains elected official data. It includes chamber names for all legislative chambers and a list of the non-legislative districts for which Cicero maintains geographic boundaries.
The response is organized by country, with states/provinces and non-legislative boundaries listed within each country and localities listed within each state/province. Each place contains a list of its legislative chambers, and each country also contains a list of its non-legislative district types.

Note 1
In all cases where it is filled out, the photo_origin_url provides a direct link to an image file of an official’s headshot photo. Whenever possible, we use links to photos hosted on official sites operated by the government body of which the official is a member. However, there are rare cases where this is not possible. Sometimes, there is no official government site containing a headshot photo of the official. In this case, we try to locate a photo from another source, such as the Congressional Biographical Directory. In other cases, an official site with photos may exist, but it may not be possible for us to provide direct links to the photos. In these cases, we copy and host the photos ourselves. Whenever we host a photo ourselves, we obtain permission from the relevant government body before copying and hosting their photos. If a photo is hosted by Cicero, the URL will start with: https://s3.amazonaws.com/cicero-media-files/ or https://cicero-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/.
Note 2
The photo_cropping field contains a JSON object with properties x, y, width, height, origWidth, and origHeight. These parameters can be used to calculate CSS that will display the image at photo_origin_url cropped and scaled to fit in a fixed-size element. x and y are the coordinates of the top left corner of the cropping box, width and height are the dimensions of the cropping box, and origWidth and origHeight are the dimensions of the full-sized original image.
The example CSS is a template for calculating a style definition. The quantities in brackets must be calculated for each image based on the photo_cropping parameters and the size of the intended container (displayHeight and displayWidth). The example scales to the container height, which means the width could be more or less than the container size, depending on the dimensions of the cropping box. The calculations could be adapted to scale to the display width instead, but not both, since that could result in the image being stretched or squashed.
In cases where the original image is a standard headshot and no cropping is needed, the photo_cropping field will be null and the style should use background-size: cover; and background-position: center;.
