Known Issues / Limitations

• The feed utilizes since and until dates to make sure entries are not re-ingested if they haven't been updated.
• If you need to ingest historical blog posts, run the feed manually by setting the since date back.
• The feed will only return at maximum, the most recent 6 pages of data.
• ThreatQuotient recommends running this integration every 2 days based on the publication pace of the site.
