  • RSS can be used to distribute all sorts of information

    There is JSON Feed¹ already. One of the spec writers is behind micro.blog, which is the first place I saw it(and also one of the few places I've seen it). I don't think it is a bad idea, and it doesn't take all that long to implement it.

    I have long hoped it would pick up with the JSON-ify everything crowd, just so I'd never see a non-Atom feed again. We perhaps wouldn't need sooo much of the magic that is wrapped up in packages like feedparser² to deal with all the brokeness of RSS in the wild then.

    feedparser is a python package receiving and parsing RSS/Atom newsfeeds. The maintainer is active but really need much more support.

    Lo más sencillo que conozco para monitorizar canales de YouTube son los feeds RSS que tiene cada canal. El formato es https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=[CHANNEL_ID]. Si no conoces RSS, echa un vistazo en la wiki. Para leer RSSs en Python tienes feedparser (y seguramente muchas más).
