How to get my channels list on Youtube?

I want to get all channels that I have on a youtube account.

For example I have 3 channels on a account. 3 channels on my account

What I've done:

  1. Read the documentation on https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels/list.
  2. Authenticate with my account
  3. Send GET request to GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=snippet&mine=true&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
  4. I got success response, without error. But I only get a channel. I expected to get all my channels (3 channels).

Is it possible to get all my channels? If possible what should I do to get it?

After sometime searching for the same question, I found this YouTube API v3 get all channels associated with a logged in user

And that is true. Apparently, Youtube has no user info, but a channel info. So, when a user gives you permission to read his/her Youtube info, you only got permission to read a specific channel info (the "mine" channel) that was selected on the Google Account permission page.

The other user's channels will be seen as any other channel.

btw, I am not 100% of this, that's what I understood after reading the Youtube Data Api V3.
