                <h4>Elections API</h4>
                <p>The Code4SA Elections API provides a machine-readable dataset sourced from the <a href="http://www.elections.org.za/" target="_blank">Electoral Commission of South Africa</a>. It allows you to build a news application, a web page, or any other type of software that needs elections data.</p>

                <h4>Medicines API</h4>
                <p>Retail medicine prices are regulated in South Africa through the Single Exit Price Mechanism. Prices are published on a regular basis at <a 			href="http://www.mpr.gov.za" target="_blank">www.mpr.gov.za</a> in an unwieldy excel spreadsheet making it inaccessible to casual users. This projects builds an API and basic user interface to query this database.

                <h4>Parliamentary API</h4>
                <p>Bill Tracking Application for the Parliamentary Monitoring Group.

The project consists of two components: a frontend client application to demonstrate a user-facing website, and a backend application that handles all of the application logic, and exposes the database through an API and an admin interface.</p>

                <h4>Crime Stats API</h4>
                <p>Crime Stats, but better. The official crime statistics are released in a format that makes it impossible to really interrogate the dataset. After wrestling with the data for a couple of hours, we've managed to wrap it up in a nice, easy to use package.</p>
