Commented Unassigned: youtube data doesn't import completely [24491]

I've been using the "import from youtube video network" feature to create lists of all of the videos posted by a particular organization. I put in their youtube username, and a list of their videos shows up in the vertices tab. It works great for organizations with less than 100 videos on their accounts, but if I try to create a list of more than 100 videos, arbitrary videos get left out. Does anyone know why this is happening/how to troubleshoot it? (Or a better way to download lists of video names, views, and favorites for a particular youtube user)...
Thanks!

I can't answer that, because I don't know how YouTube determines which videos to provide to NodeXL. I used to direct such questions to the YouTube API Developer Forum ( https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/youtube-api-gdata ) where YouTube programmers could provide more definitive answers, but it looks like that forum has been discontinued.

I did find a few possibly relevant facts at https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/reference, however:

"Private, pending and rejected videos would not appear in a response to an unauthorized API request or a request for videos uploaded by someone other than the currently authenticated user."

Translation: Are any of your missing videos private?

"The API returns a videos feed in response to a request to search for videos. A videos feed contains a maximum of 999 entries."

Translation: Are you expecting more than 999 videos in the network? If so, you won't get them all.
