Youtube Latest Videos API
Backend API for fetching the latest videos for a predefined search query and save them in database.
Has flexible search option for finding videos saved in database.

Automated use of next API_KEY from database if current quota gets exhausted.
Key storage format in database -
{
_id: 'jdurn73388',
keyNumber: 1,
apiKey: 'jdjfkbdhdk',
used: 0,
}
