Is youtube data api paging consistent if you use pagetokens? (v3 data api)

Question

The YouTube V3 Data API provides \"page tokens\" for paging result sets from search endpoints.

Is the dataset being viewed consistent if you make use of the page tok

Answer 1

The ordering is not guaranteed when using page tokens. (Nor was it guaranteed when using start-index in v1/v2.) If something changes with the backend data source's ordering in between fetching one page and the next page, then retrieving the next page would reflect the updated ordering.
