    I've been using the NovelUpdates RSS feed for my reading list with Zapier (similar service to IFTTT) for several months now, but since yesterday, I've been getting 403 forbidden errors when trying to retrieve the RSS data. It works fine if I view it directly in the browser.

    Does anyone know if there's been a change to no longer allow access to NU RSS feeds when not using a browser? Or do we need to change the way we access the RSS feed?

    If anyone else here uses IFTTT and has their RSS feed working, let me know! Thanks!

    Same here. I am using IFTTT and the feeds stopped working 1/1/2020 around 4am I think. I get the same error as you using the W3C validator.

    Should be resolved now. If not, let me know and I'll take a look again.

    Perfect, this works now. I just forced a check and IFTTT sent me emails, etc. Thanks for the fast response.

    What service or software are you using for your RSS feeds?
