YouTube RSS Feed with Redis Cache & Embedded Player

This n8n workflow generates a custom RSS feed aggregating the latest videos from your favorite YouTube channels. Triggered by a webhook from your RSS reader, it fetches channel feeds via the YouTube API, filters for standard videos (excluding shorts) posted in the last week, retrieves full descriptions and embeddable players, and constructs RSS items with rich content. Results are cached in Redis to minimize API calls and ensure fast responses on subsequent requests.

Key features include automatic filtering for relevant content, seamless video playback directly in RSS readers without visiting YouTube, and caching to handle high-frequency polling efficiently. It's ideal for content creators, researchers, or enthusiasts who want distraction-free access to updates from multiple channels in one feed.

Benefits include time savings by consolidating feeds, reduced YouTube distractions, and scalability via Redis for production use. Use cases: Integrate with apps like Inoreader or Feedly for daily digests; power newsletters or dashboards; or automate content monitoring for teams. Setup requires channel IDs, Redis and YouTube API credentials, and pasting the webhook URL into your reader—only red-highlighted nodes need configuration.
