New experimental API methods announced, fuzzy search + lobbyist disclosures. http://tinyurl.com/625n4v |
non-voting delgates deserve API love too: updated Norton (DC) and Fortuno (PR). added Faleomavaega (AS), Bordallo (GU) and Christensen (VI). |
added a few missing (resigned/deceased) members from 110th congress (http://tinyurl.com/4nngxn) |
new legislators.allForZip convenience method -- get all reps+sens for an individual zipcode in a single call (that's 66% savings!) |
UPDATE: twitter_id added to legislators + data refresh + way to access resigned/defeated/deceased legislators http://tinyurl.com/6npkkj |
0.1 release of Sunlight API ruby gem for all your rubyists out there: http://sunlight.rubyforge.org/ (thanks @luigimontanez) |

just added new way to get multiple legislators in a single request http://tinyurl.com/5fcdev |
two small bugfixes to the new Sunlight Labs API: fixed XML entity escaping for legislators URLs and in getZipsFromDistrict.xml |
New API is live, official launch coming soon. Twitterers, check it out early: http://tinyurl.com/3phzr8 feedback welcome |
*BIG* Sunlight API changes coming, would like to talk with anyone currently using the API |
James Turk added address to congressional district method places.getDistrictFromAddress. Geocodes and uses info from Census.gov. |
microformats, yeah! Created new API method: people.getHCard.
Get an hCard for every member of congress! |
created new API method to provide better zip5s -> districts data: places.109th.getDistrictsFromZip5 |
people.getDataCondition can now handle complex, &-containing URLs as input. See http://sunlightlabs.com/api... |
people.getDataItem now returns "O: no data" correctly rather than "NULL" |
Fixed bug in people.convertID if fromcode or tocode == entity_id and removed redundancy in output when fromcode == tocode |
Fixed a bug with the At-Large states (AK,DE,MT,ND,SD,VT,WY) for people.reps.getRepFromDistrict.php. Will now accept &district=At-Large |
wow, so our API is being used in the capitol hill (east patio) region of Second Life |
modified the JSON output of all API methods to be JSON standards-compliant: now both names and values are quoted |
