This is a python API client library that is used to collect data from the
United States Congress and a few other departments inside the US Government.
This library will make filtering the requests easier, and give you a nice easy
to use tool to grab vital civic data to be used in a wide range of analysis.

## Setup

To **install** the library, run the following command from the terminal.

```console
pip install united-states-congress-python-api
```

To **upgrade** the library, run the following command from the terminal.

```console
pip install --upgrade united-states-congress-python-api
```

## Usage

Here is a simple example of using the `congress` library to pull the bulk data
sources and grabbing a speicifc year of bulk data for the Privacy Act Issuances.

```python
from pprint import pprint
from congress.client import Congress

# Initialize the Congress Client.
congress_client = Congress()

# Grab the data sources.
data_sources = congress_client.data_sources()
pprint(data_sources)

# Grab the different resources from the Privacy Act Issuance.
pia_2017 = congress_client.privacy_act_issuances(folder='2017')
pprint(pia_2017)
```
