Can you get a list of YouTube channels to which a user is a subscriber?

I'm very new to YouTube Data API and not sure if it's possible to get a list o channels to which a logged in user is a subscriber?

I see that it is possible to get following: Using mine parameter to retrieve a list of channels that subscribe to the authenticated user's channel. https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/subscriptions/list

However, I'm curious to see the subs of a user not channel.

Any kind of help is highly appreciated.

Your reading (quote):

Using mine parameter to retrieve a list of channels that subscribe to the authenticated user's channel.

is incorrect.

The request parameter mine of Subscriptions.list API endpoint is specified as:

mine boolean
This parameter can only be used in a properly authorized request. Set this parameter's value to true to retrieve a feed of the authenticated user's subscriptions.

Therefore, querying Subscriptions.list with mine=true will return the list of channels to which you -- the authenticated user -- subscribed.

For the other way around -- i.e. for a list of channels that are subscribers of your channel -- there are two other request parameters: myRecentSubscribers and mySubscribers.
