ECPPEC Electoral Data GraphQL API

A GraphQL API over the Eighteenth-Century Political Participation and Electoral Culture research dataset — historical British elections, constituencies, candidates, poll books, voters, votes, occupations, geocodes and cultural artefacts. Nineteen root queries, no mutations, open unauthenticated introspection. Verified live 2026-08-30. Note that the previously catalogued endpoint ecppec.ncl.ac.uk/api/ is a WordPress documentation page, not the API; the API is at api-ecppec.ncl.ac.uk.
