Hey guys, I've been using Apify actors
Hey guys, I've been using Apify actors for a while, and as I'm new here I'd like to ask about somthing:
Problem: I'm scraping Airbnb and Booking. I'm currently using Bright Data, however it doesn't work very fast, sometimes output is not exactly how it should be and errors happen often - especially for Booking.
Apify as a service is much better in that case, and before switching to BD I've been using Apify wildly (business plan).
The reason I switched to Bright Data was that their scrapers have more data in the returned JSON, and actually the data quantity comes often with the specific data I need that was often missing in Apify scrapers.
Now I'd like to go back to Apify somehow, and I prepared the exact list of things I'd like to scrap from single Booking and Airbnb listing. If such two scrapers exists, I would switch to Apify in an instant
What are my options?

What are my options?
- Adjusting current actors output to better suits my needs (some tweaks in returned JSON needed) and therefore increase my usage of them (by contacting their author? how?)
- Writing new actor from scratch? (however I don't have capabilities to write it myself probably)
