A tool to search the California DMV website for available custom license plate names.

CLI

Why?

You can do these searches yourself on the DMV website, but you have to fill out a long form before searching for your desired name (which will likely already be taken). Then you'll have to start over again, filling out that same form from scratch every time you want to search.

Enter robots! Our automated friends that exist to perform exactly this kind of mind-numbing drudgery.

Requirements

๐Ÿข๐Ÿš€ Node.js

Usage

npm i -g california-license-plates
