Tell HN: YouTube RSS Feeds are not working anymore

15 points by kryster 2y ago ↗ HN

YouTube RSS feeds are now returning 404. This was my primary way of following YouTube channels.

To give an example: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCcefcZRL2oaA_uBNeo5UOWg

YouTube Channel pages still have the application/rss+xml meta tag so it's possible that this is a temporary outage somehow but it seems unlikely. I think they just silently killed RSS on YouTube.

Confidently wrong, as usual.

The RSS URL you pasted is now working.

It looks like the link you shared is working now.

The links I have configured in my rss2email application are all showing HTTP 200 OK, with suitable content too.

False alarm?
