📦 Existing: Not specified

Specifications:

[Target] - Director Identification Number lookup tool for public access.
[Method] - Web form input, backend data retrieval, and frontend display.
[UI/UX] - Simple web form with DIN input field and 'Fetch' button. Cleanly formatted output on screen and downloadable as CSV.
[Stack] - Frontend: React.js; Backend: Node.js with Express; Scraping: Puppeteer or Cheerio; Database: SQLite for caching scraped data; Security: Rate limiting, CAPTCHA handling.
[Security] - Implement rate limiting to avoid API abuse. Use headless browser for scraping to bypass CAPTCHAs and handle temporary site unavailability.
[Format] - JSON for internal processing, CSV for user download.

Workflow:

1. Design the frontend UI with a single DIN input field and 'Fetch' button using React.js.
2. Develop the backend server in Node.js with Express to handle form submissions and data retrieval.
3. Implement scraping logic using Puppeteer or Cheerio for government databases where APIs are not available.
4. Cache scraped data locally using SQLite to reduce load on external sources and improve performance.
5. Integrate rate limiting and CAPTCHA handling mechanisms in the backend to ensure robustness.
6. Test the application thoroughly, including edge cases like temporary site unavailability and CAPTCHA presence.
