A PHP library for easy access to EveryPolitician data. This is essentially a port of [everypolitician-python](https://github.com/everypolitician/everypolitician-python), which is itself a port of [everypolitican-ruby](https://github.com/everypolitician/everypolitician-ruby).

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require andylolz/everypolitician
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Creating an instance of the EveryPolitican class allows you to access information on countries, their legislatures and legislative periods. Each country and legislature has a slug that can be used to reference them via the country and legislature methods:

```
use \EveryPolitician\EveryPolitician\EveryPolitician;
$ep = new EveryPolitician();

$australia = $ep->country('Australia');
$senate = $australia->legislature('Senate');
echo (string) $senate; //

$uk = $ep->country('UK');
$houseOfCommons = $uk->legislature('Commons');

$americanSamoa = $ep->country('American-Samoa');
$houseOfRepresentatives = $americanSamoa->legislature('House');

foreach ($ep->countries() as $country) {
    echo $country->name.' has '.count($country->legislatures()).'legislatures';
}
```

By default this will get the EveryPolitician data and returns the most recent data. This data is found from the index file, called `countries.json`, which links to specific versions of other data files.

If you want want to point to a different `countries.json` file, you can override the default URL using `::fromUrl`:

```
$ep = EveryPolitician::fromUrl('https://cdn.rawgit.com/everypolitician/everypolitician-data/080cb46/countries.json');
```

The example above is using a specific commit (indicated by the hash `080cb46`). If you want to use a local copy of `countries.json` you can instead create the object using the `::fromFilename` method, e.g.:

```
$ep = EveryPolitician::fromFilename('/home/andy/tmp/countries.json');
```

For more about `countries.json`, see [this description](http://docs.everypolitician.org/repo_structure.html).

Remember that EveryPolitician data is frequently updated — see this information about [using EveryPolitician data](http://docs.everypolitician.org/use_the_data.html).
