Research: Find API for matching users with representatives #23

Open rebootunity opened 7 years ago

We will need to take a user's home address and return to them a list of their representatives.

http://whoismyrepresentative.com/ is an example site. They have published their API docs but they are in php.

It would be great to identify other potential APIs before diving in to PHP for this.

Based on my quick glance-through of this article: https://www.hackster.io/RONDAGDAG/who-represents-me-923bdb

It seems like you wouldn't have to manipulate php all that much? Seems like you just need to trigger those php scripts and what you'd actually be dealing with is XML or JSON.
