I have been using fetch since I created my fishing channel site and added new videos. I don't seem to find anything on how many videos from a certain playlist the fetch will receive. I currently have 10 videos on that one playlist. I am only getting 8 on the call is this normal I can't find any documentation implementing only 8 returns max

async function getInfo() {
  const response = await fetch(

  const result = await response.json();
  console.log(result)
  let resultSorted = [];
  result.items.forEach((el) => {
    resultSorted.push(el);  
  });
  console.log(resultSorted)
  return resultSorted.sort((a, b )=> {
    return  new Date( b.snippet.publishedAt) - new Date( a.snippet.publishedAt)

You are only getting 8 results as you have maxResults=8 defined in your URL. ~~Remove or~~ change this value to something higher and you should get all of them. Apparently the default value is 5 and you can set anything from 0 to 50.

I am so dumb I copied that string never noticed that was too busy adding the playlist and key lmao

Easily done 😆

I do this section on my computer and copy the results into another file so I don't have my key out there. Even though my new key is for public information LOL so I just copied that damn thing lmao thanks wow I am so tired sometimes lol
