I’ve tried using “/past\_webinars/{webinarId}/polls”, but this API fails until the Webinar has ended.

Hey @drorshalit1,

That’s correct—it’s not currently supported to get Poll results in real time via API.

However, it’s a great suggestion. I recommend posting a feature request for this here: #feature-requests

Thanks,  
Will
