Youtube API does not work for PublishDateAfter/Before properties

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?order=date&part=snippet&q=Bill%2BClinton&fields=items(id%2Csnippet)%2CnextPageToken%2CpageInfo%2CprevPageToken%2CtokenPagination&publishedBefore=2000-01-01T00%3A00%3A00Z&maxResults=5&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

Any help or direction much appreciated.

After a litte investigation, this is actually a problem with the YouTube Data API. You recreate it on the the Google API Explorer by setting a very early publishedBefore value:

Others are reporting it here:

Greetings folks! There's not much we can do in this library with bugs in backend APIs. If this is still an issue, please do file a bug in the YouTube API issue tracker!
