RSS feed for Youtube channels

Question

As far as I know, when you visit a YouTube channel, the URL can take three forms:

• https://www.youtube.com/channel/xxx
• https://www.youtube.com/user/xxx
• https://www.youtube.com/c/xxx (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/c/TenMinuteHistory)

I found the RSS feed link for the two first:

• https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=xxx
• https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user=xxx

but nothing for the last case. What's the correct URL?

Answer 1

For the YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/TenMinuteHistory), the RSS URL is:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC22BdTgxefuvUivrjesETjg

Oddly, it doesn't work with the name (TenMinuteHistory - sample) - it only shows the published date of the channel.

Maybe it's for the spaces in the name of the channel or another settings in the channel itself - this sample works, though.

For check the channel_id of a YouTube channel, you can follow any of these steps:

• Check the source code of the YouTube page, by pressing ctrl + u and search: channel_id.
• Select a video of the channel you want get the channel_id, then, select the channel name - under the name of the video and it will redirect you to the YouTube channel page, but in the URL, you'll get this result: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC22BdTgxefuvUivrjesETjg.
