How to get info from URL?

Need help APIs
1

So I’m working on an app that as some part of the functions I want the users to submit YouTube links. When they do that I want to get these data from the link

  • Video title
  • YouTube favicon
  • Video length

So I want to do the same for other links and resources in the future, but I’m gonna start with only YouTube. Is there a way? is there a standard process I should be learning so I can apply it in the future?

Here is Link to a youtube video:

Please let me know if you see anything in the URL that indicates the Title, Favicon or the Length of the video.

@jared.gibb please drop a poop emoji reply to round this thread out.

You would have to use YouTube’s data api, extract the video id from the URL and then grab that info from their API.
