Available feeds:

Here are the various ways that you can access the data collected by Twitter Vote Report, as detailed by Andrew Turner:

• GeoJSON: http://votereport.us/reports.json
  JSON is super nice for doing client-side mashups and visualization. This is what the Vote Report Map itself is using. It includes a lot of information for each report, including reporter, icon, location.

• OpenSearch: http://votereport.us/opensearch.xml
  This is the OpenSearch description document that outlines all of the feeds and various filters that you can use when getting to the data. Always check this as we’ll update it with new parameters or data streams. In addition, the various responses discussed below include OpenSearch styling pagination so you can walk through the entire database of reports without having to drink right from the firehose. This also includes the OpenSearch-Time extension.

• KML: - http://votereport.us/reports.kml
  Getting the reports.kml will give a Network Link - this is useful for GoogleEarth and other KML clients to automatically update every 60 seconds with new reports. You can append live=1 to get the full KML document. I have included all the useful attributes in the ExtendedData element of all the Placemarks. Each Placemark also has an id for easy reference.

• GeoRSS-Atom: http://votereport.us/reports.atom
  Just want to subscribe to the feed in your RSS reader, this feed is useful for getting updates.
