In fact there are 3 RSS feed types
User : https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=<XXX> https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=<XXX>
Channel : https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<XXX> https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<XXX>
Playlist : https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=<XXX> https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=<XXX>
- rakshithbellare 4y agothanks, but the feeds are not updated, it looks like? for example https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=mkbhd https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=mkbhd lists some old videos!
- progbits 4y agoConfusingly, mkbhd the user and channel are different: https://www.youtube.com/user/mkbHD https://www.youtube.com/user/mkbHD https://www.youtube.com/c/mkbhd https://www.youtube.com/c/mkbhd For some reason though using channel_id=mkbhd doesn't work. This is a working link: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCBJycsmduvYEL83R_U4JriQ https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCBJycsm... It is embedded on the channel page as <link> element, your RSS reader should accept the web page link and figure it out.
- mdp2021 4y agoYes, it is best if you use the "unique ID", available in the source HTM in case the URL contains a "human readable" version.
- bhrgunatha 4y agoMy utility format the feed url by extracting the relevant suffix from the url slug when it includes: "/user/" "/channel/" "/playlist?list=" I think the newer slug format for channels is "/c/" in which case I think you do have to extract it from the HTML source, but they now include the feed URL anyway. <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="FEED_URL">
