- Description

Hello, recently I have found that there is a lot of channels with custom or short URL`s, like for example:

https://www.youtube.com/c/RedkettleClothing

https://www.youtube.com/beardbrand

https://www.youtube.com/foundr

And suggested by Youtube API v3 documentation ways of working with those channels ID`s is not working properly(

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/working_with_channel_ids).

Search->list is kinda working when we search for channels with custom URL like '

https://www.youtube.com/beardbrand', but it is not working with short channel URL`s like '

https://www.youtube.com/c/RedkettleClothing'. It just give back 0 results.

Channel object has a snippet parameter of customUrl (

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels#snippet.customUrl) and I would like to suggest to add it as a searchable parameter for Channels->list.
Or in any other way provide a functionality that would let to get channels ID`s for channels like in example.
