A thin Node.js wrapper for working with Google's Civic Info API.
It's heavily inspired by Joanne Cheng's civic_info Ruby gem.
Secure a Google API key.
Install civic-info.js:
npm install civic-info
Require and instantiate civic-info.js with your API key:
var civicInfo = require("civic-info")({apiKey: 'YOUR KEY HERE'});
// Alternatively, you can set a GOOGLE_API_KEY environment variable and instantiate like so:
var civicInfo = require("civic-info")();
Get election info and election IDs:
civicInfo.elections(function(error, data) {
console.log(data);
});
Get 2012 presidential election info for a voter address:
civicInfo.voterInfo({address: 'SOME ADDRESS'}, function(error, data) {
console.log(data);
});
Get election info related to a specific election and address:
// NOTE: electionIDs can be retrieved from the elections API
civicInfo.voterInfo({electionID: 'SOME ID', address: 'SOME ADDRESS'}, function(error, data) {
console.log(data);
});
