Primary LanguagePython

Last Words

A Python script that posts the last words of each inmate on Texas's death row right before they were executed to my website, https://lastwords.fyi. Links to the full offender information & original last statement are included with each post.

Acknowledgements

What does this do?

  • Gets the offender's name, age, race, and last statement
  • Runs basic statistics on the above information, including generating plots
  • Removes any inmates with no last statement
  • Posts as many statements as possible to https://lastwords.fyi without hitting the Tumblr API limits and queues the rest
