What is RSSAPI?
About
RSSAPI is a service that periodically monitors RSS, ATOM, and JSON feeds for customers, parsing and normalizing content, then delivering updates via webhooks in near real-time for feed subscription applications. You can see how often RSSAPI visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors agent analytics.
Expected Behavior
Fetchers visit websites on-demand. They're normally dispatched by apps to present metadata about a link (e.g. the title and thumbnail image) to a user.

Should I Block RSSAPI?
Probably not. If you block a fetcher, it won't be able to fetch the metadata it needs to display a link preview. Fewer people will click on the link to your website without this.
How Do I Block RSSAPI?
You can block RSSAPI or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt. Set up Dark Visitors agent analytics to check whether it's actually following them.
