About YouTube to RSS

How It Works

This web app generates an RSS feed URL for any YouTube channel. Enter a channel URL and receive a feed link for your RSS reader to follow new videos.

Features

• Convert YouTube channel URLs to RSS feeds
• Copy feed links with one click using the copy button
• Save multiple channels locally in your browser
• Clear saved channels with smooth animations
• Error notifications for access issues or rate limits

How We Get the Information

The app uses YouTube's official RSS feed format:

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

For channels without a visible ID in the URL, the app fetches the page HTML using a CORS proxy and extracts the channel ID from metadata.

Limitations

• This app uses a public CORS proxy, so the number of requests is limited.
• Neocities restricts the use of external intents trough CORS security policies, so you must run it on localy.
• Typically, users can submit only a few tens of requests before hitting limits.
• Exceeding limits may trigger Rate Limit (429) errors.
• For the app to work, user must request access or they will receive Access Denied (403) errors from the proxy.
