YouTube Data API v3 Search Missing Videos

Question

I'm trying to access recent videos for channel "UC8-Th83bH_thdKZDJCrn88g" using the youtube.search.list API method, however I'm getting different results than what I'm seeing on the page.

Following the documentation:

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&channelId=UC8-Th83bH_thdKZDJCrn88g&maxResults=10&order=date&type=video&fields=items(id(videoId),snippet(channelId,publishedAt,title))&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

Which is omitting a lot of videos that I can see on the channel's uploads page (sorted by Date added, newest):

The first video returned in the API response appears as the 12th video on the Channel's page. Additionall, there are 3 videos seen on screen between the first video in the API response and the second video in the API response.

Answer 1

It’s freaked me out for about ten days. Thought my renaming script got messed up. Luckily (?) it’s on the API end, and there’s an open issue on it...

Hope that eases your concern!
