What Would you want in a government API?
diN0bot: i'd be glad to have an API at all. right now, if you want to get donation reports on attempted congressional members you have to go to d.c. in person and individual print each report on their printer and pay for it. it is effectively impossible for any one to accomplish without thousands of dollars plus hundreds of hours. oh yeah, and the reports are images, so then you have to translate them into data.the more APIs the better. definitely tracking money is vital, since we've all come to assume the government is in evil corp's pocket.
