So I've been playing around with Youtube API V3 lately. I tried to retreive all the subscriptions I have in my account and for that I used the code sample they had on their site, which is the following:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# Sample Python code for youtube.subscriptions.list
# See instructions for running these code samples locally:
# https://developers.google.com/explorer-help/code-samples#python

import os

import google_auth_oauthlib.flow
import googleapiclient.discovery
import googleapiclient.errors

scopes = ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly"]

def main():
    # Disable OAuthlib's HTTPS verification when running locally.
    # *DO NOT* leave this option enabled in production.
    os.environ["OAUTHLIB_INSECURE_TRANSPORT"] = "1"

    api_service_name = "youtube"
    api_version = "v3"
    client_secrets_file = "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET_FILE.json"

    # Get credentials and create an API client
    flow = google_auth_oauthlib.flow.InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(
        client_secrets_file, scopes)
    credentials = flow.run_console()
    youtube = googleapiclient.discovery.build(
        api_service_name, api_version, credentials=credentials)

    request = youtube.subscriptions().list(
        part="snippet,contentDetails",
        mine=True
    )
    response = request.execute()

    print(response)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Although this works fine, It only retreives information of 5-6 channels, while I am subscribed to over 200 channells, I made sure I didn't exceed my quota either. Any ideas why?

As commenters said, you need to implement pagination. To receive more results per request, you can also change maxResults to 50 instead of the default 5 value (that's why you are talking about receiving only 5-6 results).
