Requesting client.channels.list with for_username

[dj2ball]

I am struggling to use the for_username argument to request a client channel list. Example code below:

---

from pyyoutube import Client import json

Youtube Data API V3

API_KEY = "XXX"

client = Client(api_key = API_KEY)

response = client.channels.list(channel_id="UCMo28ATCDU0Kn9dpilAF79Q", return_json=True)

response = client.channels.list(for_username="@TheOverlap", return_json=True)

print(json.dumps(response))

RESPONSE: {"kind": "youtube#channelListResponse", "etag": "RuuXzTIr0OoDqI4S0RU6n4FqKEM", "pageInfo": {"totalResults": 0, "resultsPerPage": 5}}

The for_username is not for the new username for the channel. And This username is in the old youtube version and for a youtube user,

You can get more information at doc

I assume there is no API for the "new" username yet?

As of now, tthe field custom_url (at the channel snippet part) will return this new username data, but there is no place to use this username to fetch other data.
