This set of complementary functions are wrappers around the database
functions that facilitate the use of the LegCo API or return data from the
API in a more usable form. All complementary functions have a prefix of
search_.
Complementary Functions:
search_committee: Search LegCo committees
search_member: Search LegCo members
search_voting_record: Search Voting Record in LegCo meetings
search_question: Search full text of question put to
the government by LegCo members
The complementary functions work by calling a number of database functions and combining their output, meaning that a function call usually involves multiple API calls. Use with caution to prevent reaching the API’s rate limit too quickly.
