Please explain from where we need to access the data for the API? I'm willing to submit a pull request for this issue.

Hi @Vishwajeetsinh98, thanks for checking this out.

Unfortunately there is no complete data source--we are just making our own based on manual research. You can see our results here (on an older branch): https://github.com/billimarie/light-pollution/blob/gh-pages/data/prosecutors.json

We're hoping to update this to something more elegant when we get more data. If you have any ideas, please feel free to submit a pull request. For now, the data we create is housed on mLab.com in JSON format:

{
    "_id": {
        "$oid": "5919ed1c734d1d1cd0be9d88"
    },
    "attorney-id": "ua-al-m",
    "name": "A. Clark Morris",
    "role": "U.S. Attorney",
    "state": "Alabama",
    "district": "Middle District of Alabama",
    "appointed": "2017-03-11"
}
