Parsing YouTube video information from XML

Given the following XML output: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCBJycsmduvYEL83R_U4JriQ, how do I iterate through all the entry nodes to get the yt:videoId value... for example:

<entry>
    <id>yt:video:Xyt9rmsxwDU</id>
    <yt:videoId>Xyt9rmsxwDU</yt:videoId>
    <yt:channelId>UCBJycsmduvYEL83R_U4JriQ</yt:channelId>

This is my code so far, I can't figure out the next step:

function getChannelVideoInformation(youtubeApiKey, youtubeChannelId) {
  var queryUrl = envService.read('crossOrigin') + "https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=" + youtubeChannelId;
  return ($http.get(queryUrl).then(function (response) {
    var parser = new DOMParser();
    var xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(response.data, "text/xml");
    // parse xmlDoc here and assign values to array
  }, handleError));
}

Use something like

var nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("yt:videoId");
var videoIds = [];
for(var i=0;i<nodes.length;i++){
  videoIds.push(nodes.item(i).innerHTML);
}

If you want to iterate through <entry>'s child nodes:

var nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("entry").item(0).children
for(...){
  ...
}
