YouTube API Quick Reference
The YouTube API has comprehensive documentation. I wish more API providers had such detailed docs. It is a pity though that many of the Google APIs have got deprecated or removed all together. I think we should still exploit them while they are there. I compiled the parameters for YouTube API v2 Search for quick reference.
This code sample on CodePen shows a practical use of the YouTube API. ZeroDollarMovies & TankTopTV are examples of websites which have made use of YouTube API.
