You can use beforeSend method and request.setRequestHeader. Take a look at the official documentation here.

    type: 'DELETE',
    data: 'key=' + {YOUR_API_KEY},
    // must set api key
    url: 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id='+ thisUniqueID + '&key=904907387177-qe517sq5dmmpebckjbmrhv4gvac9e2d1.apps.googleusercontent.com',

Answer 3

I was able to pass along a header using this code below:

    jQuery.ajax({
        type: 'DELETE',
        // must set api key
        url: 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id='+ thisUniqueID +'&key=api_key_here',
beforeSend: function(xhr){xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer access_token_here');},
        success: function() {
        alert('your video has been deleted');
        },
        error: function() {
        alert('error processing your request');
        }
    });
