Answer 1

Try this:

client.execute!(:api_method => youtube_analytics.reports.query, :parameters => {
:ids => 'channel==own_channel_id', 
'end-date' => '2014-02-15', 
'start-date' => '2014-02-01', 
:metrics => 'views'
})

Other metrics that can be use list of metrics.

But I think you should be reminded of some details about Anotation Metrics

Annotations metrics

annotationClickThroughRate (core metric)

The ratio of annotations that viewers clicked to the total number of clickable annotation impressions. This is a core metric and is subject to the Deprecation Policy.

annotationCloseRate (core metric)

The ratio of annotations that viewers closed to the total number of annotation impressions. This is a core metric and is subject to the Deprecation Policy.

Deprication

Google will announce if it intends to discontinue or make backwards incompatible changes to this API or Service. Google will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to operate those YouTube API versions and features identified at http://developers.google.com/youtube/youtube-api-list without these changes until the later of: (i) one year after the announcement or (ii) April 20, 2015, unless (as Google determines in its reasonable good faith judgment):

• required by law or third party relationship (including if there is a change in applicable law or relationship), or
• doing so could create a security risk or substantial economic or material technical burden.

The above policy is the "Deprecation Policy."

NOTE:

YouTube Analytics API reports only return data for the annotationClickThroughRate and annotationCloseRate metrics as of June 10, 2012. In addition, YouTube Analytics API reports only return data for the remaining annotation metrics as of July 16, 2013.
