Ruby programmer? It’s easy to use this data in your own app! Use the gem like this:
require 'everypolitician'
country = Everypolitician::Index.new.country('Israel')
house = country.legislature('Knesset')
house.popolo.terms.find_by(id: 'term/18').memberships.each do |membership|
puts "#{membership.person.name} (#{membership.party.name}): #{membership.person.gender}"
end
