# Why? https://twitter.com/lindsaylee13/status/826298008824328192 I expressed my interest in using my technical skills anywhere I could. One of the suggestions made was to have a running list of representation throughout the nation. My approach for this case was to retrieve a list of zip codes and return representation via Google's Civic Information API. My source for zip codes is: https://www.aggdata.com/node/86 This data set currently has just over 29,000 of the total 43,000 listed here. This is due to: 1) Rate Limit 2) Zip codes not found My goal is to continue to expand on the list of zip codes to get as comprehensive of a view of representation as possible. This is not possible without Google's Civic Information API!
