Ruby wrapper for the Sunlight OpenStates API

TODO: update this description The Sunlight OpenStates API is a live JSON API for the people and work of Congress??, provided by the Sunlight Foundation.

Installation

TODO: Not published yet. Need to figure out what's the best naming, since openstates ruby gem is already taken.

$ gem install sunlight-openstates

Authentication

All requests to the OpenStates API require a Sunlight API key. An API key is free to register and has no usage limits.

Usage

TODO: Write usage instructions here

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
