How to get the RSS feed of a YouTube channel
YouTube offers RSS feeds for its channels, but unfortunately you have to jump through hoops to get them.
A simple Google search leads us to this Stack Overflow thread where we learn that if you have the ID of a YouTube channel, you can get its RSS feed.
- A YouTube channel has a URL of this type:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/{channel_id} - Take the channel ID from the first URL, and plug it in this second URL to get the RSS feed:
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id={channel_id}
Easy enough, but it's annoying having to search how to do this each time. So I created a little JavaScript form to do it for me.
