YouTube has RSS feed for each channel

Open scripting opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

YouTube channels have feeds.

Here's the feed for my YouTube channel.

And a canonical JSONification of the feed (this is how FeedLand gets the data from any type of feed, RSS, Atom or RDF, the YouTube feed is Atom).

I did not know they had feeds, in fact I thought I heard they specifically did not have feeds.

I've subscribed to the feed in FeedLand and it seems to work, and also included it in my blogroll category, so it should show up in my blogroll, and possibly in the Little Feed Reader on Bluesky.

All of this, and more, was discovered by Andrew Shell.

Two suggestions.

  1. Include descriptions with the items.

  2. Use enclosures for the videos. Atom does enclosures differently from RSS, but it can be made to work, imho.

No matter what, thank you YouTube, and it's a great start.
