Free YouTube RSS Feed URL Generator

Paste a YouTube channel URL, handle, or channel ID to generate the official YouTube RSS feed URL for any RSS reader.

Generate a YouTube channel RSS feed from a handle

YouTube RSS feeds use channel IDs, but most channels are shared as handles like @Maxinomics. Paste the public channel URL and this tool resolves the channel ID, then returns the official RSS feed URL.

Use the official YouTube RSS endpoint

The generated URL follows YouTube's built-in feed format: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID. You can add it to self-hosted RSS readers, feed apps, automation tools, or your own monitoring scripts.

No YouTube API key required

The resolver reads the public channel page to find the canonical channel ID. Direct /channel/UC... URLs and existing YouTube feed URLs are resolved immediately without an extra YouTube request.

Follow, search, and auto-tag videos in Memex

RSS tells you when a channel publishes. Memex helps with the next step: follow channels, search across saved videos, transcripts, and notes, and auto-tag new uploads so the important clip is not buried later.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get the RSS feed for a YouTube channel?

Paste the YouTube channel URL into the generator. It finds the channel ID and builds the official feed URL in the format https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID.

Does YouTube still provide RSS feeds for channels?

Yes. YouTube channel RSS feeds are still available through the feeds/videos.xml endpoint when you know the channel ID.

Can I use a YouTube handle like @Maxinomics?

Yes. Paste a handle URL such as https://www.youtube.com/@Maxinomics and the tool resolves the underlying channel ID for the RSS feed.

Do I need the YouTube API?

No. This generator resolves the channel ID from the public YouTube channel page and does not require a YouTube API key.

Which URL formats are supported?

The tool supports YouTube handle URLs, /channel/UC... URLs, existing YouTube feed URLs with channel_id, and common custom channel URLs that resolve to a public channel page.

Can Memex follow and organize YouTube videos after I generate the RSS link?
