Could you build this?

Partial The UI and lookup workflow are straightforward, but in Ecuador, official government vehicle registries and transit fine databases lack stable public APIs and typically require complex CAPTCHA bypasses, reverse engineering state portals, or unofficial data provider connections.

What it would actually take: A production version requires web-scraping workers (using Playwright or Puppeteer) targeting municipal transit authorities (like ATM Guayaquil, AMT Quito) and national bodies (ANT, CTE). The difficult aspect is handling frequent site breakages, session tokens, and CAPTCHAs without official APIs, needing robust proxy pools and resilient scraping pipelines alongside a standard Next.js frontend.
