What this skill does

# LegiScan Bill Tracker A skill to monitor state legislative activity using the LegiScan API. It filters for active bills based on custom keywords and state selection. ## Setup 1. **API Key**: Obtain a free API key from [LegiScan](https://legiscan.com/legiscan). 2. **Environment Variable**: Set `LEGISCAN_API_KEY` in your environment. 3. **Dependencies**: Requires `requests`. ## Usage Run the script directly or via a scheduled task (cron). ```bash # Default (TX, cryptocurrency keywords) python3 search.py # Custom State and Keywords python3 search.py --state TX --keywords "crypto, bitcoin, blockchain" # Include passed/completed bills python3 search.py --state TX --keywords "crypto, bitcoin, blockchain" --all ``` ## Configuration Options - `--state`: Two-letter state abbreviation (Default: `TX` or `LEGISCAN_STATE` env var). - `--keywords`: Comma-separated list of terms to search for. - `--all`: If flag is present, includes bills that have passed or are completed. ## Best Practices - The script uses environment variables for sensitive credentials. - It provides CLI arguments for flexibility without modifying code. - It includes error handling for API failures and missing configuration.
