Capitol Words API key

Hi Guys,

Try to find where to get an API key for capitol words? I did search online but the one link that looked like it may have worked isn't.

From reading their discussion forum https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/sunlightlabs-api-discuss the group responsible shut down in Nov. and their projects were taken over by another organization called ProPublica. They are currently running part of the API from the same address as before but have temporarily removed the need for API keys as they get their registration worked out. https://www.propublica.org/nerds/item/sunlight-labs-takeover-update

But it looks like the Capital Words API specifically isn't back up yet (bottom of the previous link).

Thanks for the heads up, Seth! We'll take a look at how to properly change the project to avoid confusion about this.
