The Goal ↑

The goal is to build a simple api that, given a youtube video id, gives back a json containing data from current video with the following structure:

  • provider: The plaform where the post was generated (Youtube, Twitter, etc)

  • id: The uniq identifier

  • title: The title of the post

  • description: Text content

  • source: Json dump of the obejct

  • published_at: Date when the post was published

  • thumbnail: Url to an image representing the post

  • canonical_url: The canonical url for the content

  • location

    • latitude

    • longitude

  • author

    • id: The uniq identifier of the author

    • name: The name of the owner of the post

    • url: The url to the author homepage

    • thumbnail: Url to image representing the author

So, calling this urls:

we should get back a json like this

{“provider”:“Youtube”,“id”:“KBzmzdnZe14”,“canonical_url”:“www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBzmzdnZe14”,“author”:{“name”:“Rachel Quinn”,“id”:“UCAHrNGn3hLC9_MilY74RCmg”,“url”:“www.youtube.com/channel/UCAHrNGn3hLC9_MilY74RCmg”,“thumbnail”:“”},“location”:{“latitude”:53.349811554,“longitude”:-6.26031017303},“title”:“Bull Island”,“description”:“”,“source”:{“publishedAt”:“2015-09-22T07:59:32.000Z”,“channelId”:“UCAHrNGn3hLC9_MilY74RCmg”,“title”:“Bull Island”,“description”:“”,“thumbnails”:{“default”:{“url”:“”,“width”:120,“height”:90},“medium”:{“url”:“”,“width”:320,“height”:180},“high”:{“url”:“”,“width”:480,“height”:360}},“channelTitle”:“Rachel Quinn”,“categoryId”:“22”,“liveBroadcastContent”:“none”,“localized”:{“title”:“Bull Island”,“description”:“”},“defaultAudioLanguage”:“en”},“published_at”:“2015-09-22T07:59:32.000Z”,“thumbnail”:“”}

What We Are Looking For ↑

  • Demonstration of craftsmanship and attention to detail - write the code as though you were writing for a production system.

  • Use of language idiom and advanced language features, where appropriate.

  • An appreciation for design (clear separation of concerns, an understanding of abstraction, cohesion and coupling).

  • Use of Object Oriented programming, where appropriate.

  • Code that communicates intent (maintainable code).

  • An absence of duplication (maintainable code).

  • A correct solution.

  • A suite of tests or rspecs for the solution.

  • Reasonable use of Ruby Gems is permissible and encouraged, so long as no Gem provides the basis for the solution.
