This repo is used to fetch and parse data used as a demo for building the MySQL database behind a Bookworm using Presidio. The data consists of summaries of bills in US Congress and the corresponding metadata for each bill.

python get_and_unzip_data.py

This will download and unzip the data using the multiprocessing module to do everything in parallel.

python congress_parser.py

This will prep the data by creating the individual .txt files for each bill as well as build the jsoncatalog.txt file.
