🟢

Link is active

🟡

Link being checked

⚪

Unknown status

Example feed item:

<item>
  <title>🔴 Link Status: DEAD</title>

  <link>https://deadlinkradar.com/dashboard/links/abc123</link>

Security

Treat your feed token like a password

  • • Your feed token grants read access to all your link status changes
  • • Never share your feed URL publicly or commit it to version control
  • • If your token is compromised, regenerate it immediately in Settings
  • • Tokens are stored as bcrypt hashes—we never see your plaintext token

Need to regenerate your token?

Go to Dashboard → Settings → RSS Feed and click "Regenerate Token". Your old token will stop working immediately.

Troubleshooting

Feed returns 401 Unauthorized

Your token is invalid or expired. Generate a new token in Dashboard → Settings → RSS Feed.

Feed is empty

The feed only shows status changes. If you haven't had any link status changes recently, the feed will be empty. Add some links and check them to generate events.

RSS reader shows old data

The feed is cached for 5 minutes. Most RSS readers also have their own refresh interval (often 15-60 minutes). Try forcing a refresh in your reader.
