About YouTube-Subscriptions-RSS

YouTube-Subscriptions-RSS is a GitHub repository containing a JavaScript script and a bookmarklet that convert a YouTube subscription list into an OPML file of RSS feeds. After navigating to youtube.com/feed/channels, the user runs the script or clicks the bookmarklet; it scrolls the page to load subscriptions, fetches each channel page to locate its RSS feed URL, then downloads an OPML file and logs the feed list to the browser console. The resulting file can be imported into an RSS reader.

The tool runs entirely in the browser during an active session on the subscriptions page. Channels whose pages cannot be fetched or whose RSS link cannot be found are skipped, with alerts and console messages reporting how many were missed. No hosted service or installation is described.
