Answer 1

I believe the best way is to use youTube's gdata, and then grab info from XML that is returned

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/6_Ukfpsb8RI

Update: There is a newer API out now which you should use instead

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started

URL: https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=7lCDEYXw3mM&key=YOUR_API_KEY
     &fields=items(id,snippet(channelId,title,categoryId),statistics)&part=snippet,statistics

Description: This example modifies the fields parameter from example 3 so that in the API response, each video resource's snippet object only includes the channelId, title, and categoryId properties.

API response:

{
 "videos": [
  {
   "id": "7lCDEYXw3mM",
   "snippet": {
    "channelId": "UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw",
    "title": "Google I/O 101: Q&A On Using Google APIs",
    "categoryId": "28"
   },
   "statistics": {
    "viewCount": "3057",
    "likeCount": "25",
    "dislikeCount": "0",
    "favoriteCount": "17",
    "commentCount": "12"
   }
  }
 ]
}
