YouTube2FreshRSS
One-Way-Synchronization of your YouTube subscriptions to FreshRSS.
Requirements
- YouTube channel/account with a public subscription list
- FreshRSS instance
- rss-bridge instance
- Python 3
Features
- Adds YouTube subscriptions as rss-bridge Atom feeds to the category "YouTube" in your FreshRSS instance
- Removes YouTube Atom feeds from the YouTube category in FreshRSS if they are (no longer) YouTube subscriptions
Shortcomings
- I did not implement support for using OAuth2 with Google. Therefore it is only possible to access public resources and this is the reason why the channels subscription lists needs to be public.
- Perhaps many more that I don't know/mind at the moment.
Setup
- Create a new project in the Google Cloud Console and follow the instructions to get an API key
- Enable the YouTube bridge in rss-bridge (if necessary)
- Copy
config.example.jsontoconfig.jsonand fill it out - (optional) Create a Python virtual environment with
python3 -m venv venvand activate it - Install Python requirements with
pip install -r requirements.txt - Execute the program with
python youtube2freshrss.py - (optional) Set up a Cron job for running the
run.shonce a day with the working directory as first argument
