Description This is a web application which takes in user input through a form and sends that information to Flask through a request. It then uses that data to find information for the nearest deputy head for a given administrative area through Google's Civic Information API. We then use a combination of this representative's data and the form data to generate a letter through Lob's API.

To Run:

• FYI: This was run on a Windows machine.
• Have Python 3 and pip installed (always preferable to have this in a virtualenv/Anaconda environment)
• Clone this repository and navigate to the project directory
• In terminal, type pip install -r requirements.txt to install all the necessary modules
• Input the necessary API keys in the api_keys.py file
• In terminal, type python api.py
• Go to localhost:5000

After you submit a form, you will see a link to the PDF file appear below the title if all operations are completed successfully.
