^As above, average rating is there from the days when YouTube used to have 1 to 5 star rating. These days, it's calculated from likes/dislikes. I'm not positive of the calculation, but from a quick test on a video with 4000 likes and 40 dislikes, and an avg_rating of 4.9656, a like is treated as a 5 rating and a dislike as a 1.

((4000 * 5 + 40 * 1) / ((4000 + 40) * 5)) * 5 = 4.9603

You can't get the likes/dislikes from the rating though. But since they're on the /watch page, they could be scraped.
