How to replace the closed query.yahooapis.com?

Hey! As you know, Yahoo gave everyone a great New Year's gift (it's very symbolic that it's the year of the pig) and shut down a number of popular developer services. In particular, the feed parser that was at query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql successfully died.

Because of this, the plug-in with the feed from social networks for Wordpress stopped working adequately on my site. The problem is not so much with the WP plugin, but with the jquery.dpSocialTimeline.js main component.
The page where I use the plugin: https://alexandersakulin.com/social-feed/ and it also appears in the blog sidebar: https:// alexandersakulin.com/blog/
Demo on the developer's site: wpsleek.com/light-social-timeline

In order to somehow force the feed to load, I returned the request via https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/feed/load , which was previously used by the developer of this plugin. But, as I understand it, requests and output are not configured correctly, so most of the functionality is lost. For example: parsing rss from Tumblr, Pinterest, G+ and so on does not work. Also, this plugin stopped loading from the phone at all, the update icon just hangs, and nothing happens.

I wrote to the developer, but judging by the frequency of plugin updates, there will be no answer to my question, as well as subsequent updates. In this regard, I ask for help. I’ll warn you right away that I’m generally a photographer and an amateur in this business, so I don’t understand all the intricacies of web development))

1) My first hope (naive): maybe there is some service to just replace query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql in the source code and everything would work?
2) Or maybe somehow finish requests through https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/feed/load

In general, I will be grateful for any ideas, comments and suggestions.
Thanks in advance to all who respond.

Hello!
Have you tried the WP Grabber plugin? Can work both with parsing rss feeds and parsing data from html
