Rails - Apr 2014 - How to fetch youtube data points and save them into database

I'm not looking for solution, but steps *you would* take to figure it out. 
I'm relatively new to ruby / ruby on rails and desire to learn more through 
small projects. I don't have experience with APIs and I figured that 
catching youtube data points and storing them in the database would be a 
great start?

Here is what I'm trying to accomplish: when I insert youtube video link 
into a form (create), then: thumb, link, title, date uploaded will get 
saved into the database as soon as I hit "submit." This will allow me
to
display these videos using the views.

Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks,
