+1 for using the API. in java, i used xstream to convert the xml to pojo.

parsing the html from the page sounds like something i'd do if there's no api lol

Can't you only use Youtube's API for your own videos? I want to do it for videos I do not own.
Thank you so much for all of the input, everyone!

Check out my post. Youtube offers a XML data api for each video, all you need is the youtube video ID. Using a real xml parser is better, but I simply just used regex to get my data.

you can get it for pretty much any video. if subscriptions are public (channel by channel basis), you can access their subscription vids too.
