This project is a vizualization of Hawaii Campaign Spending data for Candidates. It was initially created for Civic*Celerator 2013.
Please note that this visualization is based on the official Hawaii Campaign Spending data which you can find on data.hawaii.gov: https://data.hawaii.gov/Community/Expenditures-Made-By-Hawaii-State-and-County-Candi/3maa-4fgr
But the data is actually pulled from a filtered/rolled-up view: https://data.hawaii.gov/Community/Expenditures-Made-By-Hawaii-State-and-County-Candi/gvuk-nbsz/data
Also the Candidate Committee report is used: https://hicscdata.hawaii.gov/dataset/Organizational-Reports-For-Hawaii-State-and-County/gkek-wbij
My sorted view of the dataset: https://hicscdata.hawaii.gov/dataset/Organizational-Reports-For-Hawaii-State-and-County/8ry8-ip7m/data
To better understand the data you should take a look at the Campaign Finance Data Primer
bundle install
./run-jekyll.sh
./jekyll-watch.sh
Visit http://localhost:4000 in a web browser
After creating a filtered/rolled-up view as above
curl 'https://hicscdata.hawaii.gov/api/api_keys' -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5' --compressed -H 'Pragma: no-cache' -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' --data '{"keyName": "Example key."}' -u "$USERNAME@$PASSWORD"
Then put your api key username and password key in .env (based on .env.sample)
NOTE: The username is the keyId field and the password is the keySecret field
In this project the data is updated manually rather than automatically fetched (this may change in the future).
bundle exec dotenv ./update_data.sh
Then commit the changes to the data (if any) and then deploy.
Then run:
bundle exec ruby parse.rb
Run deploys script
./deploy.sh
Then commit the changes. The site is served from the master branch of the common cause repo: https://github.com/CommonCauseHawaii/campaign_spending
