New congress 2015 #488

Closed lfwebdev closed 9 years ago

Hello,

Sorry, this is not an issue, but I'm wondering:

When will the data be updated for the new legislators on 2015?

plantfansam commented 9 years ago

So this is a tough question to answer, but suffice it to say that we're going to go as quickly as we can —the trouble is that much of our API's legislator data is contingent on external sources (such as legislators' official websites). Check out this blog post for a little more info. You can also track activity on legislator information in the congress-legislators repo.

Closing this for now — the issue linked above is probably the best place for updates.
