DeviantArt RSS is blocking Railway's IP
I have a bot that pulls a user's art from the RSS feed associated with their account. For a couple of weeks I have been getting 403 from RSS. This morning I have been digging into this error more deeply, and I have attached the response from the URL. This error only occurs on my railway deployment. I have tried redeploying, removing my public URL, and testing locally.

When errors occur in your DeviantArt application, understand what the error is and how to handle it accordingly via APIS.
The error is with the Rss feed, not the api. The api is still working. It is a source IP problem.
Yeah and it’s likely blocked by them. Nothing railway can do. You’ll need to contact them.
DA is not going to troubleshoot their RSS feed (if you read their message, it points to this.) I will wait to see what Railway says. Worst comes to worse I will just wait a month when the block expires.
Block expired. Resolving.
