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.
The current release now saves the keyfile to the local filesystem and offers and improved CLI.
An OpenFEC API key and AWS DynamoDB credentials are required to make full use of this application.
This snap application can be installed from your Linux shell. Refer to the installation instructions.
To execute the snap after it has been installed type: getopenfec

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install getopenfec, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install getopenfec --beta
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
