Represent by Open North
Represent is a civic-data API run by the nonprofit Open North that maps Canadian addresses and postal codes to elected representatives and electoral boundaries. A live keyless GET against `/postcodes/{postcode}/` returned the matching federal, provincial, and municipal boundaries plus centroid coordinates as JSON, with a wildcard `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header confirming direct browser use is supported. It's the API that powers Open North's own representative lookup tools and is reused by several civic-tech projects.
