To make an API to fetch latest videos sorted in reverse chronological order of their publishing date-time from YouTube for a given tag/search query in a paginated response.
- Django-Rest-Framework used to build REST API
- Containerized using Docker and managed using Docker Compose
- Used Celery and Redis to call asynchronus services
- In-built Admin Dashboard provided by django to view all videos in Database
This project is built on top of docker containers. So ensure that you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system For installation instructions refer: https://docs.docker.com/install/
Make appropriate changes in .env.sample file such as PAGINATED_PAGE_SIZE, FETCH_INTERVAL
Start Redis first:
docker-compose up -d redisThen start whole project:
docker-compose up
After the server is up, Go to http://localhost:8000/admin and add your Youtube v3 API. For using admin panel at
/admin, default credentails areadmin:adminYoutube v3 API can be generated from https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started By default query's subject is "football", if you want to change go to ./app/video/task.py line number 103
- As soon as server starts, the synchronization service starts fetching videos in a fixed interval. The interval can be configured through
.env.samplefile. - The video dashboard will be available at
http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/video/video/ - The GET API to list all videos stored in the database is available at
http://127.0.0.1:8000. This API is paginated and haspreviousandnexturl field.
