Yandex RSS returns a login page: how NewsPulse skips the source

The README explains that for Yandex RSS, some networks may return an auth/challenge page instead of XML. NewsPulse then skips that source automatically.

Parsing a login page as RSS would be unreliable, so the collector moves on.

What to check

  1. Source proxy or server NEWSPULSE_RSS_PROXY.
  2. Firewall and DNS for outbound traffic.
  3. Collection logs for hints that the response is not valid RSS.

Out of scope

Captcha bypass or automated login to Yandex is not part of the product.
