URL:- https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=XL9Ri8pO68w&part=snippet&key=AIzaSyDwvYPAjxKcrcnU_fOZxHl3YSfdTA7fVl0

you can check the `indexOf` `http:://` or `https://` in the description and extract the same. — gurvinder372, Mar 17 '16 at 06:24
@gurvinder372 nope. OP should parse the JSON and obtain the description field. — Raptor, Mar 17 '16 at 06:26

@Raptor he has already parsed the JSON and obtained description field. Now he needs to extract the URL out of it — gurvinder372, Mar 17 '16 at 06:30

You can use Jquery .getJSON() function:

$.getJSON('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=XL9Ri8pO68w&part=snippet&key=AIzaSyDwvYPAjxKcrcnU_fOZxHl3YSfdTA7fVl0', function(data) {
//data is the JSON string
});
