title: How to get average watch time for a youtube video?
body: <p>According to Youtube Analytics documentation, you can only get watch time for videos uploaded to your own channel, and you can't get it for playlisted videos (except in the context of a playlist, which is useless to me). The documentation also states that if you want to access watch time information, you need a permission from the owner of the channel.

  <p>Is it possible to get Average Watch Time for any youtube video using Youtube data API or Analytics API, or using any other source and how?</p>
