I’m trying to access a feed of the WrestlingObserver/F4W News articles (not their podcasts). I’m currently using the following link in Inoreader: http://www.f4wonline.com/component/option,com_rss/feed,RSS2.0/no_html,1/

That link doesn’t work in Tiny Tiny, and the link tester reports an error. I also note that using that xml address in my address bar does go to an error page, but for whatever reason it works in Inoreader.

Any tips on how to make it work?

DataDome is apparently for bot protection. I’d suggest contacting the site owners. You could also try setting TTRSS_HTTP_USER_AGENT to different values, but they should really fix their stuff.

some people had success piping these kinds of ddos-protected feeds through feedburner and subscribing to resulting feedburner feed. no idea if feedburner is still a thing though.

Rats. I looked around and it looks like some scrapers can get around Datadome but it’s definitely a game of whack-a-mole.

Feedburner unfortunately also can’t pick it up. It gets an “unknown error” when it goes to create the proxy.

Thanks anyway!
