The order of the fields does not matter.
Fields
- All parameters are optional, but if you don't include any of them, nothing will show up.
- Do not use capital letters. They might disrupt the code.
- The parliament field may be a combined name and numerical id (e.g.
nick-clegg/1563) or numerical id only (e.g.1563). Either format will work.
