There are some restriction with limitations of using http://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=[ID]?
Returned data are better for me, more then Google Youtube Data API and does not require OAuth or API key.

I can't find information about limitations of using `/get_video_info`, something like connection per hour or day... – kicaj Mar 05 '18 at 13:18

get_video_info is part of YouTube not part of the YouTube API its an end point used by the YouTube website. Thats why you dont need an api key to access it.
One could argue that by hacking the Youtube website in this manner you are going against the Youtube terms of service
It would be best to go though the YouTube API thats what its there for.

The file may be public use the API endpoints Google supplies not the endpoints ment for their use – Linda Lawton - DaImTo Mar 10 '18 at 18:28
