Q1: Why am I receiving fewer results than expected?
A restrictive maxItems or location/language filter may limit the dataset. Adjust these parameters to broaden the output.
Q2: Why do some videos appear missing in the final dataset? Some results may only appear in the full storage export. Always review complete storage output if items seem missing.
Q3: What if no videos are returned? Ensure the query type, language code, and region code are valid. Over-specific filters can eliminate all results.
Q4: Why do large batches stop returning new videos? High-speed logging may skip lines. Process data in smaller batches for optimal stability.
