Answer 1

You need to ask the user to log in through your YouTube app and give permission youtube.readonlyto access their data.
See the YouTube Data API subscriptions:list method . Pay attention to the example “check whether a subscription exists” - just your task, and there are code examples, incl. in PHP (scroll to the right).
To work with PHP , you need to install the Google PHP SDK: composer require google/apiclient:^2.0, create a project in the API console , create an OAuth key, download its JSON.
