        Install
        -------
        
        From PyPI:
        
        ::
        
            pip install opensecrets-crpapi
        
        
        Or, download and use the install script:
        
        ::
        
            git clone https://github.com/robrem/opensecrets-crpapi && cd opensecrets-crpapi

        Usage
        -----
        
        All API functions are abstracted to corresponding client methods, and accept the respective parameters. Results are returned in JSON format, and pre-parsed to trim the fat. For example:
        
        ::
        
            >>> from crpapi import CRP
            >>> crp = CRP(API_KEY)
        
            # get a specific legislator by CID
            >>> cand = crp.candidates.get('N00007360')
            >>> cand['lastname']
            'PELOSI'
        
            # get the top contributors to a candidate for a specific cycle
            >>> contribs = crp.candidates.contrib('N00007360', '2016')
            >>> contribs[0]['@attributes']['org_name']
            'ActBlue'
        
            # get fundraising information for a committee's members, by industry
            >>> cmte = crp.committees.cmte_by_ind('HARM', 'F10')
            >>> cmte[0]['@attributes']['member_name']
            'Heck, Joe'
        
            # use fetch to access the endpoints more directly, without pre-parsed results
            >>> summ = crp.fetch('candSummary', cid='N00007360')
            >>> summ['summary']['@attributes']['first_elected']
            '1987'
