Bot that randomly posts 23,463 personalized license plate applications the California DMV received from 2015-2016 to Twitter every so often.

Watch it live on Twitter @ca_dmv_bot.

Data

The data ca-dmv uses is sourced from @veltman/ca-license-plates, which states;

23,463 personalized license plate applications that the California DMV received from 2015 through 2016
These aren't all applications reviewed by the DMV during that timeframe; only applications that were flagged for additional review by the Review Committee
Compiled from 458 Excel workbooks that the DMV prepared for someone else's public records request

Notes

Uses Discord to manually approve licenses (to ensure no obscene content gets posted that would break Twitter ToS)
Posts plates to Twitter every hour or so; this is contingent on approval timeline
Uses GraphicsMagick (fork of ImageMagick) to generate license plate images
Does not include review reason codes for brevity purposes
Made on a slow weekend; only ephemeral logging exists and there is little-to-no error checking

Credits

Thanks to Noah Veltman (@veltman) for the application dataset and to Kay (@zyrnwtf) for teaching me the ins and outs of the Twitter API.

2013 plate requests

In case you ever run low on plates (and still want to keep going): https://www.muckrock.com/foi/california-52/rejected-personalized-aka-vanity-license-plates-in-2013-department-of-motor-vehicles-11655/files/

~300 excel spreadsheets, needs the same work described in the readme of veltman/ca-license-plates (found a full name just glancing through)

Replace special chars with Unicode equivalents

veltman/ca-license-plates says:

In plate combinations, a # character indicates a hand symbol, a $ character indicates the heart symbol, a + character indicates the plus symbol, and a & character indicates the star symbol.

This replaces the #, $ and & characters with Unicode (or emoji) equivalents.

For example, this one: https://twitter.com/ca_dmv_bot/status/1573852549962031104 would become the correct "CHI♥RED".

I leave it up to you to determine if your font actually contains these characters 😄
