can we send MOT (משרד התחבורה) complaint using POST request?

[NoamGaash]

Intro

I made this PR:
hasadna/open-bus-backend#2
to let peoples submit complaints using an API.

My implementation is very naive and straightforward - I open an actual browser and submit the request 😆

I assumed we have no resources problem, so quick and dirty approach would be a great way to achieve what we want. @OriHoch said (and he's right) that's it's very resource intensive, and maybe even a little risky.

Task:

go here
see that they have an "import" button

I suspect that we can make a POST request directly to their servers. They don't use CAPTCHA 🤦 ...

Let us know what's your thoughts about it in the comments

Seems like a great approach to save some resources.

@SariHop Thanks for your quick reply!
There's someone else who've asked about helping us with node issues, so I'll ask her if she's interested in taking it. Feel free to share and collaborate if you'll have any tips, advices or ideas.
