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

Easiest way to get the channel id:

Open Subscription Manager (left panel, down below subscriptions) and click on the desired user.

The url will be in the form: https://www.youtube.com/channel/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

So the feed url should be:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Note: Better use channel ids rather than user names because user names may change.
