Current State:
- Loans are currently read from a snapshot pulled from the API.
- Javascript parses this snapshot to produce the search results.
- Snapshot currently has ~2,000 loans.
Future:
- Kiva has ~500k loans.
- Need a method to query the API with searches.

@coderintherye - I'm working on pulling data directly from the API.
/loans/search returns 20 results per page. Is there a way to retrieve more than 20 results?

Starting this... Using JSONP.
https://github.com/mscoutermarsh/Kivabeta/tree/PullFromAPI
Kiva API supports JSONP... example URL:
http://api.kivaws.org/v1/loans/100000.json?jsonp=your_callback
If anyone has opinions on better methods... please let me know.
