YouTube API: why can't I see latest video for this channel?

The latest video for this channel shows up when viewed via the Youtube website: https://www.youtube.com/user/stefbot/videos

(video ID a4pPLwAL_Qo)

However that video does not get returned when the channel is queried via the Youtube API. I retrieve the channel video list by making a call to channels, followed by a call to playlistItems e.g.:

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=contentDetails&forUsername=stefbot&key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&playlistId=UUC3L8QaxqEGUiBC252GHy3w&key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

See playlist response JSON here

It has been more than 24hrs since this video was posted. Can someone explain why the API would not be returning the latest video for this channel?

Based from this support page, it can take a few days for uploaded videos to be reflected in YouTube search results, especially if you recently changed or removed your video. Also, you can use this reference and use Search: list to get the latest videos from user's uploads.

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&channelId={CHANNEL_ID}&maxResults=10&order=date&type=video&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
