Podcast 403 Error

I am trying to add a podcast using both the search and directly but keep getting a 403 error

Forbidden 403

Client error: `GET https://www.rte.ie/radio1/podcast/podcast_thehistoryshow.xml` resulted in a `403 Forbidden` response:

This does seem to be a problem with all RTE podcasts (I just searched for RTE and tried to add a few) so guess it is on their side?

    Hmmm. It looks like Cloudflare (who RTE are using to wrap/protect their feeds) have blocked Astiga. It doesn't say exactly why, but asks that I email RTE. I've done that. With any luck it might just start working later.

    Brilliant, it was the only missing podcast as I migrate them over from another dying Google service/app to Astiga.

    I received a reply from RTE saying they've forwarded it to the radio player department who are apparently in charge of podcasts.

    Thanks

    I'm in contact with RTE's technical department now, and they're being very helpful. We'll try to get verified with Cloudflare as a "verified bot" but it might take a while. Sorry, no idea on the likely timescale...

    That's fine, it's only a podcast, it will work when it works.

    @neasan We've implemented the technical changes on our side: https://community.asti.ga/discussion/comment/2992/#Comment_2992

    RTE are in the process of talking to Cloudflare to get us recognised as a legitimate bot.

    Brilliant, thanks.

    Thanks for working with RTE and CloudFlare, this is now sorted!

    Oh... is it? 😄 they hadn't told me, but happy to hear this.
