Stripe's API was down again

It would be great if Stripe would offer an RSS feed for status updates in addition to twitter posts. A lot of other services have one and it's very convenient to subscribe to in Slack for updates. At my current company, for example, we have a #third-party-outages channel which we have all available third party services (GitHub, NPM, CircleCI, Slack [yes, it's meta], HackerOne, etc.) status page RSS feed notify in case of an outage.

It wouldn't be perfect, but there are tons of services that can generate an RSS feed for a specific twitter user. It looks like @stripestatus only tweets when there's actually an issue (aside from updates on current issues)

I do the same, you can use the slack twitter integration to post the stripe alerts.

I didn’t realize you could use slack as an rss client

Via a bot.

I thought RSS requires polling - to get timely outage notifications does Slack hit all the RSS feeds every minute?

I’ve used StatusGator for this in the past with success.

StatusGator isn't granular enough. Having a service go yellow just because a totally different geographic region got sad is annoying.

https://status.stripe.com/

Edit: Actually looks like that page doesn't have an RSS feed, never mind

I don’t see an RSS feed option there?

You're right, looks like I was mistaken

I looked and triple checked before posting this to make sure I didn't accidentally miss it ;)

You're clearly more careful than I am :)
