Looking for some insight into how to get video information using youtube's v3 api.

When passing the url, the json response I get is:

{error:{errors:[{domain:global,reason:sslRequired,message:SSL is required to perform this operation.}],code:403,message:SSL is required to perform this operation.}}

All I'm trying to do is get basic information (title, description, etc) so I used snippet for the part.

Here's a sample url i'm using:

http://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=Ho4XgLj40Ss&part=snippet

I have tried creating an API Key and adding &key={my_api_key} to the end of that url.

If the environment matters, I'm using a jquery getJSON request in a custom Wordpress theme.

I should mention that in the try it now section in the documentation, it returns a nice json object - with the OAuth off.
