Updated to download from govinfo; fdsys is going away #37

Closed st421 closed 5 years ago

st421 commented 5 years ago

On December 14, 2018 the FDsys website will be retired and replaced by www.govinfo.gov (source: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/). This PR updates this project to use govinfo.gov to download the congressional record zip files.

I tested this via downloading/parsing data from govinfo, but I have not updated the project's tests (I think the responses from govinfo.gov are just different enough to break them).

Thank you for doing this @st421! Any watchers who also make use of this repo, who could give this PR some quick validation?

Thanks @st421 and thanks for the bump @konklone. I am embarrassed to say I didn't notice the PR right away. I'll take a look this weekend.
