    We're in a constant battle these days against unauthorised AI scrapers, and having unprotected feeds on the internet is a big target for them.

    We want to be able to offer feeds to our legitimate partners that they alone and nobody else can access.

    We're currently using custom URLs for each of them, but some were found by scrapers already.

    Thank you for the suggestion, we will look into how we can support this feature.

    Can you provide any insight into what value this would bring to the business?
