# ytrss

This script scrapes an invidious instance to get upload history of a YouTube channel in xml format.

The RSS feeds for YouTube channels are limited to 15 initial entries and the official YouTube

API is limited to 50. This script does not have such limits.

## Warnings

1. Make the script executable

```sh

```

2. Put the script on your $PATH

```sh

mv ytrss ~/.local/bin/

```

3. Set a keybind in newsboat

```conf

macro f set browser "ytrss"; open-in-browser; set browser default

that newsboat reads the entries in correct order.
