Our Voice USA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-partisian organization for civic education. We are writing tools to engage everyday citizens with the political process by providing easy access to civic information that's relevant to the individual.
This API provides civic data from various sources, such as the Google Civic API, OpenStates, and others.
Start by configuring the .env file:
cat << EOF > .env
export REDIS_HOST=localhost
export REDIS_PORT=6379
export WSBASE=http://localhost:8080
export API_KEY_GOOGLE=<YOUR KEY>
export DEBUG=1
EOF
Then, run the following steps:
- Install dependancies:
npm install - Source in the configuration:
source .env - Start the application:
npm start
Make sure you enable the Civic API on your google console in order for your API_KEY_GOOGLE to work here.
