Youtube api - Retrieve all tags in a channel

Is there a way to retrieve a json of all the tags used in a Youtube channel?

I'm trying to show all the videos of a channel on a website and I'd like to make a dropdown or something similar to filter the videos by tag.

If not possible directly, how can i parse the channel json to obtain a list of all the tags?

Thanks

EDIT

Ok, there's no way to retrieve it directly :(

I know I can get a json of the channel using the url http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/google/uploads?&v=2&alt=jsonc (this is the example for Google channel) and each item has its tags.

Which is the best way to obtain a list of all the tags in another json (or in an array) removing duplicates?

Have you looked at API here? To get json data you would add &alt=json-in-script to end of request. Eg.

https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/channels?q=soccer&v=2&alt=json-in-script

There is no direct way to get that information, I'm afraid. You'll first need to get all videos uploaded to a channel, and then iterate through each video to get the tags.
