I will be writing an application that uses the youtube API for videos. I want to integrate it with canvas. Is there anyway to make sure I get HTML5 compatible videos through the API calls?

In case you mean using
<video />: the only way to embed YouTube-videos is<object />or<iframe />. So, embedding via<video />is not possible at this point and will most likely never be.In case you mean validity: Both available options are valid in HTML5.
With the IFrame API, YouTube may use HTML video instead of Flash, but this can’t be set manually. See this.
