Answer 1

I will give some extra :

For both Youtube and Vimeo to checking those IDs are really vaild or not

var GoogleKey = 'XXXXXXXXXX';
function GetVideoById(id) {
    var site = !isNaN(id) ? 'vimeo' : 'youtube';
    var data = false;
    if(site==='youtube') {
        $.ajax({
            async: false,
            url: 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id='+id+'&key='+GoogleKey+'&part=snippet',
            success: function(r) {
                if(r['items'].length) {
                    data = {'type':'youtube','data':r['items'][0]['snippet']};
                }
            }
        });
    } else {
        $.ajax({
            async: false,
            url: 'http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/'+id+'.json',
            success: function(r) {
                data = {'type':'vimeo','data':r[0]};
            }
        });
    }
    return data;
}

So Example runs :

if(GetVideoById('YykjpeuMNEk')) {
   // youtube + data
}

if(GetVideoById('162334918')) {
   // vimeo + data
}
if(GetVideoById('999999')) {
   // nothing (because false)
}
if(GetVideoById('abcdefg')) {
   // nothing (because false)
}
