I noticed when a key has not been set and you set one with a block, it will throw an argument error. Here is how you can reproduce this:

require 'congress'

Congress.new do |congress|
  congress.key = 'abcd'
end

This happens in ruby 2.1.0p0, gems version 2.2.1, congress version 0.2.1. The reason the test did not pick this up is the before block sets a key.

Full Stack Trace:

/Users/sunnyjuneja/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.0/gems/congress-0.2.1/lib/congress/client.rb:12:in `initialize': API key required (ArgumentError)

I'd love to be able to suggest that projects using the congress gem (such as OpenCongress) upgrade their gem and take advantage of the recently added use of our HTTPS endpoint. The last release was in June of 2013.

Hi! I'm pretty new to OSS && ruby so excuse me the problem here is obvious.

I cloned the repository and cd'ed into the repo. After I type bundle install it returns,

`ruby_21` is not a valid platform. The available options are: [:ruby, :ruby_18, :ruby_19, :ruby_20, :mri, :mri_18, :mri_19, :mri_20, :rbx, :jruby, :mswin, :mingw, :mingw_18, :mingw_19, :mingw_20]

When I type, ruby -v, I get:

ruby 2.0.0p353 (2013-11-22 revision 43784) [x86_64-linux]

I installed ruby using rvm and my rvm version is 1.24.7. I may have installed ruby 2.1 in the past but it isn't available on my system as far as I know. If it isn't clear, I'm also using Ubuntu. I don't have this problem with other gems.

Can you provide some examples of how to scope a request? Filter based on something

Congress.votes
or Congress.bills, is there a way to filter for specific items?

thank you

Thanks so much for your work on this gem. I was wondering if you have tried updating the requirements to allow geocoder 1.2.5? We have had to keep that gem relatively up to date to cope with map tile and geolocating services that come and go. At the moment, the relatively strict ~> 1.1.9 requirement for congress is blocking our ability. I am happy to fork, run the tests with the new gem, and prepare a pull request but wanted to check first if you knew of an issue.

When I try

## Error with videos

@videos = Congress.videos

I get.....

"757: unexpected token at
504 Gateway Time-out

504 Gateway Time-out
nginx/0.8.52

'"

However, all the other examples seem to work....
@bills = Congress.bills
@votes = Congress.votes
@amendments = Congress.amendments
@floor_updates = Congress.floor_updates
@committee_hearings = Congress.committee_hearings
@documents = Congress.documents

Any ideas?

I install the gem 'congress'.
Then in console, I did

require 'congress'
client = Congress::Client.new(SUNLIGHT_API_KEY)

After executing the line. It returns ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0).
