Click to Call Your MEP Build Status

Little calling helper for online campaigns targeted at MEPs inspired by PiPhone and based on clicktocall-node.

v0.0.1 – Use with caution!

Installation

Deploy

npm install

Declare the following environment variables:

export TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=enter_your_account_sid_here
export TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=enter_your_auth_token_here
export TWILIO_NUMBER=+1234567890
export CURRENT_LOCATION=Brussels  # alternatively Strasbourg

Usage

node app.js

This starts a local webserver on port 3000.

/ – boilerplate site

At localhost:3000 you find a boilerplate calling campaign site where you can choose an MEP (Member of the European Parliament) of your choice, enter your phone number and you will receive a call and get connected to the MEP via Twilio. You can use GET parameters for filtering.

/meps – MEP JSON API

JSON array of all MEPs with their full name, phone number (see Installation on how to change the number from/to Brussels/Strasbourg), country, full party name and the short form of their political group as well as an integer id. You can use this id with /call. You can use GET parameters for filtering.

/mep – Single random MEP

JSON object of only one MEP (for the attributes see /meps). You can use GET parameters for filtering.

/call – Call API

Post the following attributes to start a call:

phoneNumber: +1234567890
mepId: 42

?foo=bar – Filter MEPs

The following filters can be used and freely combined:

?country=Finland                            // English full country name
?group=GUE%2FNGL                            // French group short forms
