gbuckingham89/youtube-rss-parser
A simple PHP parser for reading a YouTube RSS feed. It provides a object oriented interface for accessing the RSS feed data. Perfect for when you need to access recent videos, but don't want to use the full YouTube API.
Requirements
Requires PHP 7.1.8 or greater. Uses guzzlehttp/guzzle as a HTTP client and nesbot/carbon for handling dates. See composer.json
for more details.
If you require support for an older PHP version (>=5.5), see release v0.1.0.
Installation
Use Composer:
composer require gbuckingham89/youtube-rss-parser
Usage
To get started you'll need to create an instance of the parser;
$parser = new \Gbuckingham89\YouTubeRSSParser\Parser();
You can then load the RSS feed from a URL:
$rss_url = 'https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID_HERE';
$parser->loadUrl($rss_url);
Or, if you're in a hurry, you can also pass in the URL as the first argument when you instantiate the parser object.
Or if you've already got the XML of RSS feed content as a string, you can load it via that:
$rss_content = 'RSS FEED CONTENT';
$parser->loadString($rss_content);
Both of these methods then return an instance of \Gbuckingham89\YouTubeRSSParser\Channel
. You can also access the channel
property or call the channel
method on the Parser
instance to get the Channel
object.
You can then access the properties of the channel (see the class file). The videos
property is an array of \Gbuckingham89\YouTubeRSSParser\Video
objects, on which you can access the properties of the video (see the class file).
Prefer working with arrays? Or JSON? You can simply call the toArray
or toJson
on both the Channel
and Videos
objects.
