2025 Congressional Hackathon

This is a C++ application that fetches congressional data from the official Congress API using HTTPS requests. It adds a C++ client to the API: https://github.com/LibraryOfCongress/api.congress.gov

The application retrieves information about members of Congress, including their biographical details, party affiliation, and terms of service, then saves the results to JSON files. It also includes a web interface built with the Wt framework that allows users to view the retrieved congressional data in a browser.

Source code available at: https://github.com/pedro-vicente/congress.gov

The service is available online at: https://pedro-vicente.net:9445/

An API key is needed to retrive data. It can be obtanied here: https://api.congress.gov/sign-up/
