Hello again! Unfortunately, using this Actor requires at least elementary knowledge of web applications (i.e. CSS selectors and a tiny bit of JS programming) - same as the Cheerio Scraper.

To get technical support, you can always ask at the Apify & Crawlee Discord server. This is a community-oriented communication channel where you'll find beginners, experienced Apify users, and some of our developers.

Note that the Actor Issues tab here is primarily for reporting technical problems with the Actor. I'll close this issue now - but always feel free to open another issue if you think something is not working as it should.

Cheers!
