How to get the RSS Feed of YouTube Channels

[DP News-Robot]

I am a big fan of Harry Stahl's book "Cross-Platform Development with Delphi 10.2 & FireMonkey for Windows, MAC OS X (macOS) & Linux". I purchased this book in May 2021 and it has helped me several times as I'm porting my Zilch application from Delphi 5 VCL to Delphi 11 FMX.

Here's an Amazon link to Stahl's book: https://www.amazon.com/Cross-Platform-Development-Delphi-FireMonkey-Windows/dp/1549545760

I like to maintain RSS feeds of my favorite Delphi blogs. So, I went looking to see if Stahl has a blog I could add to my Outlook RSS Feeds. I found a couple of Stahl's websites. He does have a few blog posts but they are not easily converted into an RSS feed.

Does YouTube support RSS feeds?

However, Stahl has a fairly active YouTube channel called Programming with Delphi. https://www.youtube.com/@programmingwithdelphi

I wondered if YouTube supports RSS feeds? The answer is, YES!

Open Chrome and go to the YouTube channel you want to snag the RSS feed from. Right-click and choose the View page source option.

Then click the Line wrap checkbox in the top left corner of Chrome.

Press Ctrl-F to open the search box and enter rssurl.
Click and drag your mouse to highlight the URL associated with the rssurl attribute.
Press Ctrl-C to copy this highlighted URL to the clip board.
Your copied URL should look similar to the value below.


https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos...ZhziFL4oy-evEA

There you have it. That's all there is to grabbing the RSS Feed URL for any YouTube channel.


Enjoy!
