Can't get a full playlist with pafy

I'm trying to get all the urls of the videos in a playlist. The playlist contains 700+ videos.

When I create a playlist with pafy.get_playlist it only creates an array with 194 videos, not all of them.

So is there a size limit for the playlist with pafy?

Hello Everyone this is my first answer:)
you can use get_playlist2() as @JalxP said
just checkout the below code and run it.
I think It should solve the problem Thanks!

import pafy
import sys
import time
url = sys.argv[1] # takes the playlist link as argument
details = pafy.get_playlist(url)
playlist = pafy.get_playlist2(url)
# below three statements print the tilte,author and number of videos
print(details['title'])
print(details['author'])
print(len(playlist))
# path to store the videos
userpath = input("enter path to save the playlist:")
# you can modify this for loop for a particular range of videos 
# this a bare-bone
# this loop downloads all the videos in the playlist
for item in range(len(playlist)):
    url = playlist[item].getbest()
    url.download(userpath)
    time.sleep(3)# just to not make immediate download calls

import os
from pafy import get_playlist
import pafy
from pafy import *
from socket import *

name_pc=gethostname()
var2=name_pc.split("-")[0] # ex: ("document-PC") -> ["document","PC"]to get #name pc 

os.chdir(r"C:\Users\\"+var2+"\\Downloads")
vobj=get_playlist(str(input("Enter a URL :")))

down_path=str(input("Enter a Dir ?: "))


for video in range(len(vobj['items'])):
     down=vobj['items'][video]['pafy'].getbest() # to get all items for item in playlist
     if 1:
          t=r"C:\Users\\"+var2+"\\Downloads"
          down.download(t)
     else:
          down.download(down_path)
