FurryBear

A PHP wrapper for the Sunlight Foundation APIs

Quick Start

Specify the http adapter, the API provider, and the output format.

$adapter = new FurryBear\Http\Adapter\Curl();
$provider = new FurryBear\Provider\Source\SunlightCongress($adapter, $apiKey);
$output = new FurryBear\Output\Strategy\JsonToArray();

$fb = new FurryBear\FurryBear();
$fb->registerProvider($provider)->registerOutput($output);

var_dump(
    $fb->bills_search->fields('official_title', 'chamber', 'introduced_on', 'search')
                     ->search('"health care" medicine')
                     ->filter('history.enacted', true)
                     ->order('introduced_on')
                     ->get()
);
