python - Retrieving number of subscriptions and subscribers of specific set of users -

i'm trying retrieve number of subscriptions , subscribers of specific set of users. i'm using youtube api python.

i wrote next code number of subscriptions. code reads users' ids list 1 one, counts number of subscriptions , writes id , number in csv file. doesn't work properly. after few first user's stops writing numbers in file, , numbers not right anyhow. think there should simpler mess.

thanks,i appreciate suggestions , comments.

import os import gdata.youtube import gdata.youtube.service import time def getuserurl (username): yt_service = gdata.youtube.service.youtubeservice() uri = 'https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/%s/subscriptions?max-results=50&start-index=1' % username subscription_feed = yt_service.getyoutubesubscriptionfeed(uri) t1 = getusersub(subscription_feed) final = 0 j = 1 total = 0 while j<800: j = j + 50 sj = str(j) uri = 'https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/%s/subscriptions?max-results=50&start-index=' % username+sj subscription_feed = yt_service.getyoutubesubscriptionfeed(uri) t2 = getusersub(subscription_feed) total = total + t2 final = total + t1 usersub.writelines([str(username),',',str(final),'\n']) def getusersub (subscription_feed): = 0 entry in subscription_feed.entry: = +1 homecoming usersub = open ('usersubscribtions.csv','w') users=[] userlist = open("user_ids_noduplicates1.txt","r") text1 = userlist.readlines() l in text1: users.append(l.strip().split()[0]) x = 0 while (x<len(users)): try: getuserurl(users[x]) time.sleep(0.4) x = x+1 except: usersub.writelines([str(users[x]),'\n']) x = x+1 pass usersub.close()

if trying total number of subscribers, don't need count items in feed - supplied value in v3 of info api.
