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

I've created a small PHP script that scrapes a Youtube URL for video links, and then outputs them as an atom feed: https://gist.github.com/Skalman/801436d9693ff03bc4ce

URLs such as https://www.youtube.com/user/scishow/videos work.

Caveats:

• The tool doesn't scrape dates
• Playlists won't include more than 100 videos
• Playlists include the "play all" link
• Author is correctly set only for channels (e.g. not playlists)
• Maybe Youtube will block you if you use this too much (but hopefully the limits are high enough)
• Likely several more...
