Description
I am a researcher. I need to sample videos based on search terms via Youtube API. I checked Youtube documentation and looked online but couldn't find any significant, reliable information about the basis of the actual results of Youtube API v.3 search in comparison to sampled videos, are there criteria applied to filter (popularity, relevance, etc.) or not? I get way too small results when I use yt_search function of tuber package in R studio. It is difficult to believe that these numbers are the total research results. I tried decreasing the search period to a day and doing multiple searches; didn't work. I tried "page tokenisation", "get all=TRUE" and a bunch of other ways to get max results possible but always got very similar and low number. Here is the code "library(tuber) videosC3 <- yt_search("Chatgpt", type="video", published_after="2022-11-30T00:00:00Z", published_before="2022-12-02T00:00:00Z""
Thanks a lot for any advice or reply.
