When I'd previously run a subscriptions request call, I'd see title as part of the snippet block but it seems to be missing despite the current documentation saying title is still included in snippet Link

API Request: https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/subscriptions?part=snippet&channelId=' + channelid + '&maxResults=50&key=' + youtubekey

Result:

I have a server app to get my "videos to watch" based on my subscriptions on youtube. I use it since many years but recently (this year, I'm not sure when) I have an error to get the title of channel. I use this kind of call :

https://youtube.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/subscriptions?part=snippet&part=contentDetails&channelId=xxxxx&key=xxxxx

I have not make any change to this call, I never use OAUTH. When I try with the developer API explorer :

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/subscriptions/list?hl=fr&apix_params=%7B%22part%22%3A%5B%22snippet%22%2C%22contentDetails%22%5D%2C%22channelId%22%3A%xxxxxx%22%7D#usage

And it's clear : when I check OAUTH credential, I have this :

        "publishedAt": "2024-04-14T11:58:45.218188Z",
        "title": "Len et Jerry",
        "description" ....

When I uncheck OAUTH and keep APIKEY :

        "publishedAt": "2017-04-09T08:38:00Z",
        "description"

I don't understand :

Why I don't get the title when use only API KEY (but other item remain present)
Why there is a change on the API V3

I don't want to use OAUTH, lot of work to use it properly on server side and I don't want to make a change if the problem on api side is temporary but I don't find anything on API changelog about this.

Approaching two months since the issue was reported, and it's been an issue for longer than that. Are there any updates?

I've reported this issue to the internal teams for investigation and checking with them if this is an expected behaviour with Subscription API endpoint. Will reach back with updates as soon as I have one.
