Use parameters in query to get specific meps from the API

[okhin]

It would be very nice if we could be able to retrieve all representatives matching some criteria.

Especially I'd like to be able to run this kind of queries:

• All meps member of the group S&R
• All meps member of the group S&R or in the LIBE comittee
• All meps member of the group S&R before the 2014/07/01
• All meps member of the LIBE committee with a score above 10 on a specific dossier

The result should be in json, listing all the representatives, in the same format they're currently listed here https://master-memopol.rhcloud.com/api/representatives/

Ideally, all of them shoudl be GET requests and those query parameters should be part of teh query parameters.

I think we should focus on AND requests for now. Adding structured queries is quite painful and you can perform multiple AND queries instead, which will have performance on the same order of magnitude.

If we filter representative only with AND method, here is query format :

(Example)
https://master-memopol.rhcloud.com/api/representatives/?active=True&gender=1&first_name=Isabella

We do only the AND method?

[okhin]

It's a good start, I'd like to have a OR though.

For instance, a campaign targetting the Greens AND The alde need to have groups=GREENS&OR&groups=ALDE

And it's a use case we might encounter (or targetting multiple Committee for instance)

[njoyard]

We can use for example ?groups__abbreviation__in=GREENS,ALDE or something similar. But this should be enabled in the filters first.

What would be nice would be ensuring that all possible filters are usable in the API.
