Problem Solved
This workflow addresses the challenge of generating RSS feeds for YouTube channels without needing to acquire a Google Cloud API key or administrative permissions. It provides a free workaround to retrieve channel data and generate multiple formats of RSS feeds efficiently. Users can input a variety of identifiers (username, channel ID, video URL) and receive the corresponding RSS feed URLs in various formats.
Workflow Steps
- Form Trigger: The workflow begins with a form trigger that collects the YouTube channel identifier from the user, which can be a username, channel ID, or video URL.
- Validation: A validation code step checks the input format and determines whether it's a channel username, channel ID, or video ID.
- Get Temporary Token: A request is made to obtain a temporary token necessary for subsequent API calls.
- Switch Node: Based on the input type, the workflow branches into different paths to handle usernames, channel IDs, or video IDs appropriately.
- Get Channel ID: For usernames, an API request retrieves the channel ID associated with the provided username.
- Set XML Feed URL: The workflow generates the XML feed URL for the channel based on the channel ID obtained.
- Get Video ID Channel ID: If a video ID is provided, the workflow retrieves the corresponding channel ID for that video.
- Set XML Feed: Another XML feed URL is generated based on the video’s channel ID.
- Aggregate: The workflow aggregates results from the different generated feed URLs.
- Format Responses: It formats the results into multiple RSS feed formats (HTML, ATOM, JSON, etc.) for both videos and community posts.
- Respond to Webhook: Finally, the workflow responds to the initial webhook request with a structured HTML table containing all generated URLs.
