I'm new to using YouTube API and I'm struggling with the conflicting language, thought I would just ask the question here:
I'm looking to get the historical data for a selection of YouTube channels (not my own). The main data I would like is the daily subscribers gained (or just the sub count on a select day). Really all I want is to retrieve historical data any help in any language would be amazing (my primary language is python)

The data you are looking for does not exist. You may be able to get something like that from the YouTube analytics api but only if you are the owner of the channel.
The YouTube data api is not going to give you any historical stats. I actually dont think it will give you any stats at all unless you are the authorized owner of the channel.
