Can't get endAt on videos when calling

I'm using GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=contentDetails%2Csnippet&maxResults=50&playlistId=PLFs4vir_WsTwwb2zqmtE2WTEFdc7AQHnc&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

This returns all data, but only videoId in each video contentDetails. Maybe I'm missing something here?

Why the down vote? This question is perfectly valid. The documentation shows duration should be returned. But in practice this is not the case! – Stephane Schittly
I too don't understand why the down vote, and your question has helped me and saved me some trouble. up voted. – Alonzzo2

YouTube has removed the features that set start and end times to playlist items: here's a product forum post that details this (and indicates an official response from Google account reps):

Since playlists can no longer set start/end times on its items, the API no longer delivers them.

Not an answer, but a workaround. You can retrieve a playlist and use videos list with up to 50 videoIds in the URL to retrieve each video duration.
