TargetSmart

TargetSmart provides access to voter and consumer data for the progressive community. They provide extensive services for single record lookup through their API. For larger bulk matching services they have an automation service, which requires that data files be posted to their SFTP. Each service requires separate credentials to utilize, which is why there are separate classes for each.

Full documentation for both services can be found at the TargetSmart developer portal.
