title: Is there a way to get historical youtube subscriber information?
body: <p>Currently I am retrieving daily subscriber information with the following request:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var videoOptions = {
          'part': 'snippet,contentDetails,statistics',
          'id': videoIds
      };
  
      // Send request
      youtube.videos.list(videoOptions, (err, videoDetails) =&gt; {});
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is there a way to get historical subscriber information either through the Data API or Analytics API? </p>
  
  <p>I see there is a way to see subs gained or lost over a period of time but I don't know what the base is to compare against:</p>
