title: How do I retrieve a Video by ID with Youtube API v3?
body: <p>I'd like to get a Response referring to a single Video on Youtube. Let's say that I know its ID and like to see if it is still on Youtube. How does the request have to look like?</p>
  
  <p>I am using the google-api-client with client_id and client_secret and like to do something like this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>client.execute(
      :api_method => youtube.search.list, 
      :parameters => {:id => my_video_id, :part => 'id,snippet' })</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>It just returns me a Set of default Video Data. It is unlikely, that this is a matter of authentication, because uploading and deleting videos works fine. But for this purpose I can't find the right way. What am I doing wrong?</p>
