The below link will return a json response which contains the video dimensions and other details:

https://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[video_ID ]&format=json

Replace the [video_ID] with the ID of the concerned video. For example:

https://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvlvjY-_Vgw&format=json
