Someone suggested using Wikidata to get the data from politicians in other countries on the Leave X project. Here is the first query for German politicians
It get's 855 MPs, which is clearly wrong - it should be 735.
.json
The problems I see with using Wikidata are that it has too many duplicates and there is no email address. Also, likely the social medial links are less likely to be up to date. I will possibly have to scrape the Bundestag data, mainly to get the email addresses.
Another reliable data source could be the endpoint of [@a_watch](
): 
They don't provide emails or social media in their API end points. However, I could check the politicians' social media profiles on the profile pages of this project. I still need to check what's the best solution.
The image is the first draft with the data I got now using Wikidata.
