YouTube LiveStreaming method LiveStream.list does not return the stream suggested by YouTube

Question

I stumbled upon the unexpected behavior of the YouTube liveStream API .

Whenever I request a method liveStream.list, the only threads I return are those that were triggered by my encoding software or calls liveStream.insert.

What I'm trying to extract is the stream that YouTube suggests to the default encoder setting:

Am I doing something wrong?

"Stream Now", broadcastType liveBroadcast.list.
