twfy: A package for accessing TheyWorkForYou
Description
twfy is an R wrapper around the API of TheyWorkForYou, a parliamentary monitoring site that scrapes and repackages Hansard (the UK's parliamentary record) and augments it with information from the Register of Members' Interests, election results, and voting records to provide a unified source of information about UK legislators and their activities. <http://www.theyworkforyou.com> for details.
Details
twfy functions currently mirror the structure and naming scheme of the API as documented at http://theyworkforyou.com/api/. While the package attempts where possible to provide more detail on structure of the API's return values, this is not guaranteed to be correct and the link above should be your primary source of documentation.
