Known Issues / Limitations
- The integration relies on HTML scraping and curl User-Agent spoofing because the site's standard RSS feed and Sitemap are currently broken/empty, making the feed sensitive to future changes in the website's layout or stricter security blocking policies.
- 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.
