If you are talking about this line :

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=snippet%2CcontentDetails%2Cstatistics&id=UC6ltI41W4P14NShIBHU8z1Q&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

You are simply making a get request, you can use file_get_contents to get the response for you :

$response = file_get_contents("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=snippet%2CcontentDetails%2Cstatistics&id=UC6ltI41W4P14NShIBHU8z1Q&key={YOUR_API_KEY}");

Two notes :

You have to replace {YOUR_API_KEY} with the developer key. You can easily request one from youtube: http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/dashboard/

This is just an example in one line of code, I suggest you use a better approach for making this request like the following :

// Encode the parameters of the link
function encode_param($params) {
    foreach ($params as $field => $value){
        $encoded_params[] = $field . '=' . urlencode($value);
    }
    return $encoded_params;
}

// Get the response
function get_response($url) {
    $response = file_get_contents($url);
    // If error, send message back to the client
    if ($response === false) {
        exit("Couldn't get response from the api");
    }
    return $response;
}

$params = array(
        "part" => "snippet,contentDetails,statistics",
        "id"   => "UC6ltI41W4P14NShIBHU8",
        "key"  => "-----------", // Your API key
);

$encoded_params = encode_param($params);
$request_url = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?".implode('&', $encoded_params);
$response = get_response($request_url);

//............
