ProQuest RSS feeds not working

amybergeronbiblio
Hello,

I am trying to add RSS feeds from ProQuest and it is not working. I am in touch with ProQuest as well but I am wondering if it's on the Zotero side.

Essentially, when I add the RSS URL (https://feeds.proquest.com/rss/2211100), it seems to not be recognized as valid, so the OK button remains greyed out.

I am wondering if it's because of a cloudflare bot protection turnstile, which I read about earlier (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/132426/fail-to-subscribe-rss-feeds). However the link seems to be recognized as valid by Inoreader.

The Debug ID is D563640087.

Thank you!!

    https://feeds.proquest.com/rss/2211100 works for me, but it doesn't actually contain any real items (just a "View ProQuest search results" link). Do you see something different in Inoreader?

    (The error in that Debug ID seems to relate to your network or a problem connecting to ProQuest - unlikely to be Cloudflare Turnstile.)

    Hello,

    Thank you for your message!

    Regarding the items - yes, it seems pretty normal that the first item to populate is a placeholder "View PQ Search Results", but that citations do trickle in - see attached image for an example in Inoreader : https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u9027826/x6dzh9z1jte0q0d1tcrh.png

    I just did some testing on my personal (rather than work) computer, and I think it was having the proxy activated that was blocking the connection for some reason. Disabling it solves the issue. So this is now resolved, thanks again! :)
