I want to catch the 1 thousand most viewed youtube videos through gdata youtube api.
However, only the first 84 are being returned.
If I use the following query, only 34 records are returned (plus the first 50).
Anyone knows what is wrong?
"http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/standardfeeds/most_popular?start-index=1"
returns 25 records
"http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/standardfeeds/most_popular?start-index=26"
returns 25 records
"http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/standardfeeds/most_popular?start-index=51"
returns 25 records
"http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/standardfeeds/most_popular?start-index=76"
returns 9 records
YouTube will not provide this to you. They intentionally rate limit their feeds to prevent abuse.
