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?
CodePudding user response:
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).
