Yes, you can do it through API. Just use the Videos: list of the YouTube Data API. Use statistics as your part parameter and just place the videoId of the video that you want to get in the id parameter.

Here is the sample request.

https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/youtube/v3/youtube.videos.list?part=statistics&id=y64OsZNYhp0&_h=2&

And this is the response that you will get.

{
 "kind": "youtube#videoListResponse",
 "etag": "\"uQc-MPTsstrHkQcRXL3IWLmeNsM/qVhz5oG-YjkUw2MI_dGWHLSoyqw\"",
 "pageInfo": {
  "totalResults": 1,
  "resultsPerPage": 1
 },
 "items": [
  {


   "kind": "youtube#video",
   "etag": "\"uQc-MPTsstrHkQcRXL3IWLmeNsM/tNAz0qXkqB5wXksK0L-_QxgvMKI\"",
   "id": "y64OsZNYhp0",
   "statistics": {
    "viewCount": "1452334",
    "likeCount": "11181",
    "dislikeCount": "136",
    "favoriteCount": "0",
    "commentCount": "1865"
   }
  }
 ]
}

To get the watch time or duration of the video, include the contentDetails as your part to get the duration.

Here is the sample request for that.

You can see limited statistics of videos on YouTube that aren't owned by you. To do this, click on the 'More' link underneath a video title and click 'Statistics.
