web2.0: Youtube RSS API

January 30th, 2009 by jeremychone

Getting the User RSS:

  1. http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/[username]/videos.rss
  2. http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/[username]/uploads?alt=rss&v=2&client=ytapi-youtube-profile

#2 seems to be the official google GDATA way, but it does not get the same list that you can see in the user’s profile. #1 gives the expected result. I cannot find a way to get the “videos” view with the #2 (GDATA) format (note: changing “uploads” to “views” does not work). I will look more into it and update this post.
