About the project

This project was created as part of the FamPay Backend assignment.

Project Aim

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.

Implementation Details:

  • Server calls the YouTube API continuously in background (async) with a interval of 5 minutes for fetching the latest videos for predefined search query "football". Then it stores the data of videos in a database with proper indexes.
  • A GET API which returns the stored video data in a paginated response sorted in descending order of published datetime.
  • Added support for supplying multiple API keys so that if quota is exhausted on one, it automatically uses the next available key.
  • Optimized to store only unique videos in the database.
