How to get a Youtube channel RSS feed after 2015 April 20 (without v3 API)?

Question

Now that API v2 is gone, what would be a way to get a simple RSS feed of a channel, without v3 API? I\'m open to Yahoo Pipes or any workaround that is simpler than creating

Answer 1

You can get the feeds like this:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNELID
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=USERNAME
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=YOUR_YOUTUBE_PLAYLIST_NUMBER

But the JSON format which used to be supported (with additional parameter &alt=JSON) is not supported anymore.

Additionally you can request for API key for public access to your YouTube videos from your developer console and get YouTube Videos, Playlists in JSON format like this:

- Get Channels: 
  https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=snippet%2CcontentDetails&forUsername={YOUR_USER_NAME}&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
- Get Playlists: 
  https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlists?part=snippet%2CcontentDetails&channelId={YOUR_CHANNEL_ID}&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
- Get Playlist Videos: 
  https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet%2CcontentDetails%2Cstatus&playlistId={YOUR_PLAYLIST_ID}&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
