Bulkdata download from sunlight foundation error

Open iita-atii opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I get the below error when trying to download bulkdata from the table on https://github.com/unitedstates/congress/wiki.

It seems ProPublica only has the XML available for bulk download. Is there another source for bulk JSON download or a way to use the existing sunlight foundation links?

The Sunlight Foundation is unfortunately long gone (the organization doesn't exist anymore). @dwillis would know if there is alternative ProPublica data.

Can you share more about this information you wish to download?

The Government Publishing Office has some of this data published in bulk: https://www.govinfo.gov/developers

Hey @DanielSchuman sorry for the delayed reply.

I was hoping for JSON formatted bulk data but can do the xml to json conversion locally as well.
