Summary

The user is facing an issue with the RSS connector where not all URLs work. They are receiving a 404 error when initializing the connector with a specific URL, even though the URL returns data in a local Python script using the feedparser library.


Question

Hello everyone,

I would like to use the RSS connector, but not all URLs work with it, and I can’t figure out what’s causing the issue.
In the UI, when initializing the connector with the following URL:
• https://www.ledauphine.com/rss
I get the following error:

'Unable to connect to stream items - Request to <https://www.ledauphine.com/rss/> failed with status code 404 and error message None'```
I tried using the `feedparser` library in a local Python script, and this URL does return data.
Does anyone have an idea where the problem might be coming from?
Thanks, everyone
