# Legiscan A strongly typed client for the Legiscan REST API # Docs https://docs.rs/legiscan/latest/legiscan/ ## Quick Start To get started, you'll need to instantiate a LegiscanProxy in your program. You have two options: ```rust use legiscan::LegiscanProxy // If you have a `LEGISCAN_API_KEY` set in your .env or environment let proxy = LegiscanProxy::new().unwrap(); // If you want to pass in the API key from elsewhere let proxy = LegiscanProxy::new_from_key(your_api_key); ``` Once you've got your proxy instantiated, you can query Legiscan's API with ease. All responses are strongly typed with serde and serde_json so you will have easy access to all nested fields in a Legiscan response. Here's a quick example: ```rust let bill_id = 1167968 // From the Legiscan docs let bill = proxy.get_bill(bill_id).await.unwrap(); println!("{}", bill.state) // "MD" println!("{}", bill.bill_number) // "SB181" ```
