Youtube Data API v3: commentThread call doesn't give replies for some comment threads -


i have problem commentthread api call. here 1 specific case: comment id: z13ocxipdz3hwxqqe04cgbuadtmnhhmybyc0k

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/commentthreads?id=z13ocxipdz3hwxqqe04cgbuadtmnhhmybyc0k&part=snippet%2c+replies&key={your_developer_key}&alt=json&order=time

there 44 replies now.

but if use video_id (not comment id did above. link: https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/commentthreads?videoid=ui-ulcwmpou&maxresults=100&pagetoken=chyqp7fipbfsxgiykngqiobjxqigacgdehqiabcq0aqkhupfahimqqkive-5ahgcikwc&part=snippet%2c+replies&key={your_developer_key}&alt=json&order=time) , come across comment (you may have use pagetoken iterate on pages) see this:

39 replies no replies section

(screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d4bf9tk51eaw7dr/screenshot%202015-07-21%2021.08.31.png?dl=0)

as noticed; there 39 replies (comments) not true. , if have replies; there no replies section. missing something?

two questions: why number of replies don't match? why commentthread doesn't have replies has 39 replies?

notes: part using 'snippet, replies'. don't api error (like throttle or limit violation)

while wasn't able answer questions definitely, able find useful info may give clarity , direction.

with regard specific case outlined in question: user "authordisplayname": "tammy l." commented on video "videoid": "ui-ulcwmpou" on 11/16/2013, , received replies between 11/16/2013 , 11/18/2013. according tammy l.'s record on google+, there 44 replies initial comment date:

enter image description here

although, according record on youtube, appears there 42 replies comment, doesn't match either value returned api calls. more bizarre, google won't display comments when click on "view 42 replies":

enter image description here

it seems commentid call provides correct number of replies made tammy l.'s initial comment, consistent number of replies shown on google+ account. perhaps issues videoid call (including fact call doesn't provide replies) attributable changes google implemented around time tammy l. made initial comment (november 2013), although i'm not totally sure.
