The Athletic feeds not updating #601

Closed loganrockmore closed 5 years ago

loganrockmore commented 5 years ago

Hello! I'm having a problem with Feedbin not updating feeds from the website The Athletic. Here are two examples:

original url: https://theathletic.com/team/niners/?rss gist: https://gist.github.com/loganrockmore/1bca85d74d920c2216f757d16afd87ab

original url: https://theathletic.com/team/sharks/?rss gist: https://gist.github.com/loganrockmore/872d79c3debb2e134ac0df6b65f94216

I'm not seeing any of the feed entries from the last three days, even though both of these feeds have multiple entries. These are just two examples, but I'm seeing this with a few other feeds from theathletic.com as well. Thanks!

Hi @loganrockmore,

I took a look at the feed and see what the issue is.

This site is using CloudFlare, which by default has some weird bot protection stuff built in, which makes it impossible to programmatically access the site. Not the desired effect when it comes to RSS feeds.

The publisher of the website must add an exception to their CloudFlare configuration for all their feeds.

You can see the result of this by trying to access any of the feeds using curl. Note that the response is an html page, not an rss feed.

curl -v "https://theathletic.com/team/niners/?rss"

Oh, that's bizarre. When I run the same curl command, I actually do see that it returns an XML-based RSS feed instead of an HTML page.

But also I just checked again and Feedbin suddenly has all of the updated articles, so my guess is that they had some problem with their feeds that you were seeing and they've fixed it in the last 6 hours. So all good then, I guess! Thanks for the help!
