feedhook-quickstart

One command. Nothing to a real, signature-verified YouTube → webhook delivery in ~5 seconds.

npx -y feedhook-quickstart @mkbhd

A live demo of Feedhook — the service that turns a YouTube channel into a webhook (an HTTP POST the moment a new video publishes; YouTube's WebSub push underneath, a clean REST API on top). This script:

• creates a free account (1 feed) on the live API,
• subscribes the channel you name (default @mkbhd), pointed at Feedhook's built-in request-bin — so you need no public endpoint of your own,
• fires a real signed delivery through the production pipeline,
• reads the webhook back and verifies its HMAC-SHA256 signature with your secret,
• prints the actual delivered body, then cleans up.

Everything printed is a real production HTTP exchange — not a mock.
