Hmm, this looks to be a problem with deviantart's rss route. Going to the feed above via my browser is fine, but when I ran the following example from the readme, I get an error page, with a 403 status code.

const FeedMe = require('feedme');
const http = require('https');
const url = 'https://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?q=favby:bootz15&type=deviation&offset=0';

http.get(url, (res) => {
  var parser = new FeedMe();
  parser.on('title', (title) => {
    console.log('title of feed is', title);
  });
  parser.on('item', (item) => {
    console.log();
    console.log('news:', item.title);
    console.log(item.description);
  });
  res.pipe(parser);
});

I suppose I should update the above example to include checking for the status code.

const FeedMe = require('feedme');
const http = require('https');
const url = 'https://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?q=favby:bootz15&type=deviation&offset=0';

http.get(url, (res) => {
  if (res.statusCode != 200) {
    console.error(new Error(`status code ${res.statusCode}`));
    return;
  }
  var parser = new FeedMe();
  parser.on('title', (title) => {
    console.log('title of feed is', title);
  });
  parser.on('item', (item) => {
    console.log();
    console.log('news:', item.title);
    console.log(item.description);
  });
  res.pipe(parser);
});
