Scrape Youtube Data

I need an app that runs on both PC and Mac (either using AIR, or two separate apps, compiled natively for both platforms) that does the following:

– the user enters a list of keywords (either copy&paste or upload a txt or cvs file)
– the tool checks each keyword in Google (location can be specified, e.g.: google.com, google.co.uk…) to see if there is a youtube video in the top 10/20/… (user selectable) Google results.
– if there is a video in the top X results, the tool then collects a number of data-items from the youtube page, including title, number of views etc. The tool also retrieves the number of backlinks to this video from yahoo site explorer and the PR of the page.
– the results are displayed on screen next to each keyword, plus they can be exported as a csv file

please provide examples of both your AIR (or similar) expertise and previous similar scraping projects
