Getting the number of subscribers in Python

Assuming I get the required OAuth token for the channel, how would I be able to get just the number of subscribers, or find a way to get all the subscribers as a list?

Reference

Personally I do a fetch weekly (or daily) against this API ^^ and then use Webhooks to keep up to date with changes.

And I store the list of subscribers in a database or redis (depending on the use case)

And I count my internal list for count purposes

@SonicRPika

Also, what is the best way to get and store these OAuth tokens that my bot would need to access this privileged information? Should it be in the same file as the python code, or should I put it into a .txt or .json file?

What ever works for you. I use a mix of JSON file, redis, and structured database depending on the use case.
