YouTube secretly still serves per-channel RSS feeds (despite phasing out the homepage RSS UI). Format: youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCxxxx. Our tool resolves any channel URL / handle to the underlying UC ID and gives you the RSS feed URL, ready to paste into Feedly, Inoreader, or any RSS reader.
When to use this
Use for: following YouTube channels in your RSS reader instead of via YouTube's subscription notifications, automating workflows that need 'new video' triggers (Zapier / Make integrations), building research dashboards aggregating multiple channels' uploads.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does YouTube officially support RSS?
Yes - the feed URLs work and are documented in the YouTube Data API. They're just not visibly promoted in the YouTube UI anymore. The feeds return the latest 15 videos for the channel, with title / description / publish date / thumbnail URL.
