/mocID/[lookup key]

• Purpose: To go from an MOC name to the govtrack_id. Members are redundant to capture multiple spellings, ie "Chuck Grassley" and "Charles Grassley" will both give you the same id.
• members are stored lastname_firstname.
• To convert an entered name into a lookup key:

      let nameArray = member.replace(/\./g, '').split(' '); //can't store any endpoints with '.' in them.
      if (nameArray.length > 2) {
// can be in format Michael H Wray, Yvonne Lewis Holley, L. Louise Lucas, Lynwood W. Lewis, Jr.
        let firstname = nameArray[0].toLowerCase();
        let middlename = nameArray[1].toLowerCase();
        let lastname = nameArray[2].toLowerCase().replace(/\,/g, '');
        if (firstname.length === 1 || middlename.length === 1) {
          memberKey = lastname + '_' + firstname + '_' + middlename;
        } else {
//not ideal, but we had some members with two last names
          memberKey = middlename + lastname + '_' + firstname;
        }
      } else {
        memberKey = lastname + '_' + firstname;
      }

/mocData/[govtrack_id]

• Purpose: To get all the data about an MOC.
• Members are stored by govtrack_ids.
