Known issues / FAQ / Common problems

• Knesset blocking of some requests - this is a major problem, but it only affects specific cases, so you might not be affected by it. Please add a call to is_reblaze_content to check any content you get from knesset and detect whether it was blocked, or if there is a different problem. See this issue for some more details and possible fixes.
