Is there a way with v3 of the YouTube API to check if a video has an age restriction on it? Looking at the documentation I've been unable to confirm this.
I found something related to this,check
 https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=contentDetails&id={VIDEO_ID}&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
replace VIDEO_ID with the id of video you want to check.
API Response:
{
 "kind": "youtube#videoListResponse",
 "etag": "\"mPrpS7Nrk6Ggi_P7VJ8-KsEOiIw/el3Y0P65UwM366CJD3POX-W4y0c\"",

   "id": "VIDEO_ID",

    "contentRating": {
     "ytRating": "ytAgeRestricted"
    }
   }
  }
 ]
}
Check the ytRating, it has value ytAgeRestricted, means the video is age restricted.
From Youtube-API docs:
contentDetails.contentRating.ytRating : string
       A rating that YouTube uses to identify age-restricted content.
       Valid values for this property are: ytAgeRestricted
