ytfeed is a feed server that provides better RSS/Atom feeds for YouTube.
It works by providing a proxy around the official feeds and obtaining additional information by scraping the site.
A simple URL interface is provided, allowing access to feeds by channel handle and optional filtering.
- Block YouTube shorts
- DeArrow'd titles
- Filter on video statistics
- Specify channels more easily using channel handles
- Hides sponsor messages from video descriptions
- Shows video statistics in your feed reader
- With Nix Flakes:
nix profile install github:rijkvp/ytfeed. - Without Nix:
cargo build --release, the resulting binary will be in./target/release/ytfeed.
Feeds can be accessed by providing a channel handle in the URL path (starting with '@').
Filters can be applied by specifying the following query parameters:
| Parameter | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
d |
Mininum video duration (in seconds) | integer |
v |
Number of views | integer |
l |
Number of likes | integer |
lvr |
Like-view ratio (like / views * 100) | boolean |
Note that YouTube shorts are filtered out by default, you don't have to explicitly filter for them.
Replace http://example.com/ with the URL of your instance.
A feed from @MyFavouriteChannel, but now better:
http://example.com/@MyFavouriteChannel
Filter on videos for channel @ChannelHandle longer than 10 minutes (600 seconds):
http://example.com/@ChannelHandle?d=600
Filter videos from channel @MyChannel with over 100,000 views and 10,000 likes:
http://example.com/@MyChannel?v=100000&l=10000
