I have a trouble with YouTube API. I have an experience in many API services and first time I encountered such strange work of this API.
Problem description:
First, I want to get subscribers of my channel. I'm developing this tool for my friend, but I take my own channel for testing purposes. So, doesn't matter how (through Web Interface of my C# tool), but I always get wrong data about my subscribers.
This is my json response:
...
"pageInfo": {
"totalResults": 17,
"resultsPerPage": 5
}, ...
Actual count of subscribers is 17. It is ok. But next, I have a list with subscribers description:
"items": [
{
"kind": "youtube#subscription",
"etag": "...",
"id": "...",
"subscriberSnippet": {
"title": "chris chandler",
"description": "",
"channelId": "UCbl-PjR7SwAQkGi2nUlZbMg",
...
}
},
And count of this blocks is 8. I tried to set maxResults to 50 for getting all results in one page. But I always have 8 subscribers. I don't know why.
I tried tool with my friend's account. His actual count of subscribers is 385. But API shows only 301. Also I tried to get list of my subscriptions. Actual it is 107, but I get only about 80.
I've tested it with Web interface here:
P.S. You can think, that some of YouTube data doesn't update momentarily. But I have constant amount of subscribers on my test channel about 3 years (It is about channel with 17 subscribers).
