title: How to retrieve a YouTube video's tags with YouTube v3 API?
body: <p>I want to retrieve the tags for a specific YouTube video using v3 of the YouTube API.</p>
  
  <p>I'm able to retrieve a video with this request to the search endpoint, <a href="https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&amp;maxResults=1&amp;q=cats&amp;type=video&amp;key=" rel="noreferrer">https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&amp;maxResults=1&amp;q=cats&amp;type=video&amp;key=</a>{YOUR_API_KEY}.</p>
  
  <p>Now I hit the video endpoint trying to get the tags for the video from the above query.
  <a href="https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=IytNBm8WA1c&amp;part=snippet&amp;key=" rel="noreferrer">https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=IytNBm8WA1c&amp;part=snippet&amp;key=</a>{YOUR_API_KEY}</p>

  <p>API Explorer for this request - <a href="https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/youtube/v3/youtube.videos.list?id=IytNBm8WA1c&amp;part=snippet&amp;_h=3&amp;" rel="noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/youtube/v3/youtube.videos.list?id=IytNBm8WA1c&amp;part=snippet&amp;_h=3&amp;</a></p>
  
  <p>Even if I authorize this request I get the same results. Although, <strong>if the account being authorized owns the video it returns the tags</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get the tags for the videos I own without asking the end-user to authorize their accounts? This implementation is client side with JS.</p>
