Huffington Post polls results directly into Excel

I noticed this morning that Huffington post released a REST API exposing all their polling results. I’ve added that to the Excel-Rest library so you can get the results of all their polls directly into Excel (and Google Docs).

Here’s the basic library entry, which you can tweak to introduce queries for filtering and so on if you need to.

     

With .add("huffingtonpost elections")
            .add "restType", erRestType.erSingleQuery
            .add "url", "http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/api/charts.json"
            .add "results", ""
            .add "treeSearch", True
            .add "ignore"
        End With

 

Setting up a selection of column headers gives us something like this
