In rsunlight: Interface to 'Sunlight' Foundation 'APIs'

Description

The various APIs included here are now managed by ProPublica and

OpenStates organizations.

Details

You need API keys for Propublica APIs. Get them at

https://www.propublica.org/datastore/apis

You need an API key for the OpenStates API. Get it at

https://openstates.org/api/register/

We set up the functions so that you can use either env vars, or R options.

For env vars, put an entry in your .Renviron file with the names

PROPUBLICA_API_KEY and OPEN_STATES_KEY.

Currently we have functions to interface with the following ProPublica API

and OpenStates API:

ProPublica Congress API (cg)

Open States API (os)

NOTES:

Capitol Words API is now defunct

We will support ProPublica campaign finance API in the future
