Tell HN: YouTube RSS Feeds are not working anymore

15 points| kryster | 1 year ago

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

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?

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.

The RSS URL you pasted is now working.
