Pull Youtube account info via access token?

I am working with OAuth for the first time and playing around with the Youtube one. I got the following code:

if(isset($_GET['code'])) {

    $code = $_GET['code'];

    $url = 'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token';

    $params = array(
        "code" => $code,
        "client_id" => "XXX",
        "client_secret" => "YYY",
        "redirect_uri" => "URL",
        "grant_type" => "authorization_code"
    );

    $curl = curl_init($url);

    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);  

    $json_response = curl_exec($curl);
    curl_close($curl);
    $authObj = json_decode($json_response);

    echo "access_token: " . $authObj->access_token;
    echo "token_type: " . $authObj->token_type;
    echo "expires_in: " . $authObj->expires_in;
    echo "refresh_token: " . $authObj->refresh_token;

    $msg = '<p class="bg-success msg-padding"><b>Success:</b> You have successfully linked your Youtube account.</p>';

}

if(isset($_GET['error'])) {
    $msg = '<p class="bg-danger msg-padding"><b>Error:</b> You have canceled the Youtube account linking process.</p>';
}

How do I obtain the Youtube channels ID, username, subscribers count and such via the access token, if possible at all?

You can use this access token to access other data endpoints in the Data API v3 by specifying mine=true as parameter. For more info the channel list endpoint, check out the documentation: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels/list
