GetOpenFEC is a command line interface (CLI) tool for requesting, parsing and persisting OpenFEC API data.
The purpose of this application is to help developers quickly and reliably access OpenFEC api data in a convenient format.
This application requests, parses and creates a table for only a subset of data from the candidate endpoint. Additional endpoints will be included in the future.

An OpenFEC API key and AWS DynamoDB credentials are required to make full use of this application.
