SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired #3

Hi Alex,

I tried to use the package like it is explained in the description. Unfortunately, there seems to be an expired SSL certificate on the website such that the API does not work anymore.

R code: `library(devtools) install_github("ajparsons/everypoliticianR") library(everypoliticianR)

house_of_commons <- everypolitician("United Kingdom")`

R error message: Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired

Thanks for your help!

Best, Alex

HI Alex,

It looks like there was a certificate change over in the last week that might have affected this. It's currently working for me, can you try again and see it works?
