[datameet] Re: Newbie here- Need help with shape file of constituencies of India.

Hey, Do you have any idea where I can find the map for tamil nadu's assembly constituencies. The one on the datameet repo has only 165 of them. There is 234. If not, how do i go about making a shapefile of my own? Thanks On Wednesday, May 18, 2016 at 8:02:02 PM UTC+5:30, Manas Sharma wrote:

[datameet] Live data stream for election results and trends

Is there a hidden API from the ECI where one can get the live counts during the tallying process. They are currently updating all the results on http://eciresults.nic.in/ every 5-10minutes. How do the TV channels do it? Is it all manual? -- Arun Ganesh (planemad)

TV channels usually use private feeds like Nelson, which have faster data polling than ECI site. If you re looking to use ECI site data, you could scrape using candidate.py and constituency.py from here https://github.com/pratapvardhan/Maharashtra-State-Elections-2014 On Thursday, May 19, 2016

That's the correct location. This file has the ACs for all the states, combined together. Regards, Devdatta On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 9:20 AM, Manas Sharma wrote: > Hi, > > Thank you! But I couldnt find this repo on the git. Isnt it the one > located here? >

Re: [datameet] Newbie here- Need help with shape file of constituencies of India.

Hi Manas, You need a GIS software to create maps from shapefiles. I'll suggest QGIS, which is an opensource, free and a feature rich software. You can download it from http://qgis.org Once you add the shapefile to QGIS, you can render it however you like. See this doc for more details:
