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 categories returned by the API are occasionally different from the categories displayed on the website. This can result in less articles ingested into ThreatQ as compared to the website.
