*fifth, with SO’s default sorting, after several screens full of wrong answers
It’s a wonderful answer and I appreciate knowing about it now, because that process definitely wasn’t the first idea that came to my mind. If only Google and SO had given that answer to me before I did the whole adventure I pasted into my post and comment.
I am fetching the RSS feeds for particular channels, for which I need the channel ID.
Google gives out not only the RSS feed, but also the channel ID, if you click the menu under “share”, as someone else pointed out to me a couple days ago. You are very confused about things. This thing about it being against the TOS is pure fantasy.
