How to get the number of likes and views for a youtube video?

Question

YouTube

Hello.
I would like to know how can I get the number of likes and views for a youtube video using javascript.
I'm trying to do this using the DATA API .
How I do it now:

var channelName = 'RAYWILLIAMJOHNSON';

  $.get(
    "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels",{
      part: 'contentDetails',
      forUsername: channelName,
      key: '**some_key**',
      function(data){
        console.log(data)
      }
    }
  );

I get 403
in the console. I took the key in the 'Credentials' tab in the console.
What is the problem?
Perhaps you need to use a different API?
403 suggests that you need permission from the YouTuber / YouTuber?
