And the youtube api just changed again. No notice, no updates to the docs, it just started returning different data out of the blue. Took me about 2 hours to determine that the problems is that for some reason specifying mine=true is returning a different channel-id and playlist-ids, and to build a workaround with forUsername= instead, since that returns the original data.

now this is google/youtube, one of the biggest players on the 'net', and they feel it is ok to just change the rules whenever they feel like it. If they do this it just shows it is foolish to trust any api methods to stay constant, docs or no docs, and we just need to expect to change any/all ETL programs at a moments notice. That's life .... i've been fixing changes like this since the 70's
