Data engineer for travel: 100+ operator price and availability integrations. Booking.com and Google Hotels Actors built on one assumption: sources lie

Travel data, where being wrong costs money

Over a hundred travel-operator price and availability integrations taught me one rule: a number off by one is a booking that does not exist. I build scrapers the same way: the source is lying until it proves otherwise.

My Actors:

  • verify before they bill: currency, language and dates are checked on every response.
  • never charge for a page they could not read.
  • fail loudly: a run that collected nothing fails, it does not end green.
  • are watched: a scheduled job re-parses live pages, so a markup change shows in hours.
