no updates on feeder app
 
I use the Feeder app (feeder.co) for a number of FT RSS feeds, but none have been updated since the 13th July.
Contacting Feeder support, they found that ".... their firewall is blocking our servers from checking for new posts."
Have FT firewall rules been updated or changed around the 13th?
They've provided contact and email address details for someone to discuss this with feeder.co side, but i'm not about to provide that in an open forum.
If you need it, can you let me know how to provide it?

Thanks. Likely related to the site outage. I'll tell tech

From my IFTTT applets it reports since July 13 at 7:42 AM:

[Request Failed] (403) The server returned HTTP status: 403.
[Response Body] none

Using the ifttt applet for notifications (this one is for the premium deals forum), the feed url isn't working. this is the URL:

How's it looking now, guys?

LIH Prem Jul 27, 2021 5:30 pm

still failing

If you guys remove the RSS feed and re-add it, does the issue remain?

MalFr Jul 28, 2021 12:31 pm

still the same.
It shows the last available message on the 13th.

Is everyone experiencing this specifically for the Premium Fare Deals forum?

IBJoel, what are you seeing?

I checked the feed with the w3c feed validation service and it's returning data. (though it complains about some of the content which are minor complaints about the format and content of the feed, it does return feed data and not an http error, please check it yourself.) https://validator.w3.org/feed/

Error 403 implies that FT may be blocking ifttt. Can you check for that to see if ifttt been blacklisted somewhere? Surely there's a log somewhere?

I'm sure there's a lot of FTers using ifttt to check for new posts in this forum. It was publicized when they decided to move to separate threads for each deal in that forum. No idea if it's working in any other forum but it's very easy to set up a free account in ifttt and create your own applet to try it or to use the w3c feed validator to check it as well.

I use IFTTT as well for app notifications and all my RSS feeds are failing from Flyertalk. Can you please fix this? Please see the three links failing for me below:
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/exte...2&forumids=740
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=607
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=372


This is the error:

For me it's not just the premium fare deals, but all FT feeds through Feeder
Temporarily i've added the feeds to Outlook on my work laptop and they work fine. Until my employer finds out :)

Flyertalk RSS Feed
 
Is anyone else having issues with the RSS feed for FT forums?

I have an alert system set up through IFTTT but as of the last few weeks it won't connect to FT RSS feeds.

Thanks!

I'm not seeing anything. I don't know anything about RSS or any of that and I've never used it. I'll send this stuff and the below to tech. Where are you getting your RSS address? I know of these 2 for the forums:
