Basically, you need to send some HTTP request using e.g. QNetworkAccessManager, then parse the received data.

For example, if you send a HTTP GET request like this:
@http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=football+-soccer&orderby=published&start-index=11&max-results=10&v=2@

You can get a ATOM-formatted reply, containing the query result, from which you can parse e.g. the URL of the content and thumbnail, etc., then you can send another request to get the data.

doforumda, here goes some basic samples to send some request:
@class MyObject : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit MyObject(QObject *parent = 0);

private slots:
void processReply();
};

MyObject::MyObject(QObject *parent) :
QObject(parent)
{
QNetworkAccessManager *nam = new QNetworkAccessManager(this);

QNetworkRequest request;
request.setUrl(QUrl("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=football&orderby=published&max-results=1&v=2"));

QNetworkReply *reply = nam->get(request);
connect(reply, SIGNAL(finished()), SLOT(processReply()));

}

void MyObject::processReply()
{
QNetworkReply *reply = static_cast<QNetworkReply *>(sender());

if (reply->error() != QNetworkReply::NoError) {
    qDebug() << "Error found: " << reply->error();
    return;
}

QByteArray content = reply->readAll();
qDebug() << content;

// Here, you can use, e.g. QXmlStreamReader, to parse the received content

reply->deleteLater();
