Laravel Lobbyist — LegiScan Driver
==================================

[](#laravel-lobbyist--legiscan-driver)

The default nationwide driver for [`wiserwebsolutions/laravel-lobbyist`](https://github.com/wiserwebsolutions/laravel-lobbyist), backed by the [LegiScan API](https://legiscan.com/legiscan). It provides legislative data for all 50 states and the federal government and registers itself with the Lobbyist manager under the `legiscan` name (the default driver).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require wiserwebsolutions/laravel-lobbyist-legiscan
```

The package auto-registers. Publish its config if you want to tune requests or caching:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=lobbyist-legiscan-config
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Set your [LegiScan API key](https://legiscan.com/user/register) in `.env`:

```
LEGISCAN_API_KEY=your-key-here

# optional
LEGISCAN_BASE_URI=https://api.legiscan.com/
LEGISCAN_TIMEOUT=30
LEGISCAN_RETRY_TIMES=2
LEGISCAN_CACHE_ENABLED=true
LEGISCAN_CACHE_STORE=
LEGISCAN_CACHE_TTL=3600
```

Responses are cached per operation (sessions/people for a day, bills/roll calls for an hour) via the configured cache store.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use WiserWebSolutions\Lobbyist\Facades\Lobbyist;

$driver = Lobbyist::state('CA'); // LegiscanDriver, scoped to California

$driver->sessions();          // SessionCollection
$driver->bills();             // BillCollection (current CA session master list)
$driver->bill(1132030);       // Bill (by LegiScan bill_id)
$driver->bill('AB1');         // Bill (by number — requires state context)
$driver->vote(55);            // Vote (by roll_call_id)
$driver->legislators();       // LegislatorCollection (current session people, both chambers)
$driver->representatives();   // LegislatorCollection (House only)
$driver->senators();           // LegislatorCollection (Senate only)
$driver->representative(9001); // Legislator (by people_id, either chamber)
```

### Supported capabilities

[](#supported-capabilities)

LegiScan supports every capability **except** `ListVotes` — the API has no cheap "all votes for a state" operation (roll calls are reached per bill or by id), so this driver implements `VoteLookup` (`vote($id)`) but not `VoteProvider`.

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

Tests use `Http::fake()` and never hit the network:

```
composer install
vendor/bin/phpunit
```
