Grab youtube/hitbox comments and paste them in IRC

So I have been screwing around with different aspects of streaming and something I have been flirting around with is streaming to multiple websites at the same time. Now how feasible this is, I am not sure but I am trying to pull off some linux magic I found in a guide to make it easier. The thing I am wondering is if there is to consolidate chats from different streaming websites into one IRC channel. Now I know nothing about IRC but I am pretty sure this goes beyond basic IRC knowledge.

I know that Twitch uses IRC so that isn't that big of an issue. But I also want to try to stream to sites such as hitbox and youtube, so I want to grab those chats as well. Now if their comments also have an IRC server then things would be easy but I am pretty sure this isn't the case. With that being said, is there a bot or some other method to automatically grab the username/comment and paste them into IRC. This will help simplify things considerably and would be appreciated if someone could lend a hand.

Probably one of the only bumps I will give this before I slink away in failure.

I am able to stream to twitch.tv/hitbox simultaneously so if someone needs help following this guide on how to do it let me know.

You'd have to look into the YouTube comments API.

thesupremecommanderYou'd have to look into the YouTube comments API.

Man, this is when I really wish more about API and I guess just coding in general. However from the research I did, it seems that this task would be even more difficult with the new google+ comments, the fact I am trying to grab youtube live comments and they are slowing introducing a new API.

I will slowly try to unravel the web to do something (it will be a learning experience and a long one at that) but any more help would be appropriated as I really wouldn't know what to do with that information when I would be able to get it.

Hitbox's API seems a lot less convoluted (and some place I can actually stream since youtube won't let me yet for whatever reason) but it is a lot less documented.
