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? Mal |
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:
Code:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=740 |
How's it looking now, guys?
|
still failing
[Request Failed] (403) The server returned HTTP status: 403. [Response Body] none |
If you guys remove the RSS feed and re-add it, does the issue remain?
|
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. Error 403 info: 403 Forbidden - HTTP | MDNhttps://developer.mozilla.org › Web › HTTP › StatusJul 8, 2021 — The HTTP 403 Forbidden client error status response code indicates that the server understood the request but refuses to authorize it. |
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: [Request Failed] (403) The server returned HTTP status: 403.

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! |

Most of us are using the RSS 2.0 and appending &forumids=XXX to it in order to only receive updates for a specific forum. I, like the others, am experiencing a block.
The RSS feed itself functions - but the 403 error on IFTTT tells me there is a blockage set up to prevent access. Thus, the issue is not the link we are using, but something on the back-end with is blocking IFTTT (and some readers) from accessing the RSS feed This started on the afternoon or July 12 or the morning of July 13 per my error logging. |
Right, the feed itself works (you can see that if you try it at the w3c feed validator), but iftttt.com is being blocked somewhere. Either by a front end or by FT itself. It's been functional for some time now until this happened.

yup, already reported and being investigated. Ongoing thread here
|
How is the investigation coming along? ANy light at the end of the tunnel?
|
You will know when I know
|
It's been three weeks. How long does it take to figure out why FT or the front end is blocking ifttt?

, we DO have a notifications system on the site that works quite well.

Do we? We're accustomed to instant notification for the Premium Fare forum, a great advantage when a fare might come and go quickly. I really miss IFTTT notification. Does the site offer instant notification and I've been oblivious?
|
Any new information on this?

If anyone could give me their Ray IDs for the error, that would be helpful. We're having trouble replicating the issue.
I asked for how you could find the Ray ID, but they haven't yet responded |
I have no idea what a Ray ID is.
To replicate, the relatively simple instructions for setting up the ifttt.com (create a free account there if you don't already have one) recipe are given here in post #295: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/prem...l#post23848343 I thought it was discussed elsewhere, but I'm not sure where that was. Anyway it's pretty easy, and those are the correct instructions. The problem seems to be that either FT or whatever thing they have in front of FT (attack filtering, etc, like cloudfare) has probably blacklisted ifttt.com's RSS requests. That's a good clue to figuring out where that's happening. -David |

Is there any progress on this from the FT side?
I really don't want any more emails and the RSS feed app i use(d) still doesn't update any FT feed. Do you plan on un-breaking what was changed back in July? |
Hi guys, I wanted to confirm this is still an issue? We are going to bump up to our network team, if so
|
Yes, still an issue for me.
|
Try now

sorry, still a problem here with feeder app.
|
OK, we've re-opened the issue with tech
|
Tried something new. Any luck?
|
Was it cloudfare? It might be working now.
-David |
And it is working, I just got this ( ~ 2 hours ago) via IFTTT
