youtube-search

Django project to fetch youtube video, display on dashboard with optimised search

• Server calls the YouTube API continuously in background (async) with some interval (1 minute) for fetching the latest videos for a predefined search query and stores the data of videos ( Video title, description, publishing datetime, thumbnails URLs and videoId) in a postgres database

• A GET API which returns the stored video data in a paginated response sorted in descending order of published datetime.

• A basic search API to search the stored videos using their title and description.

• Support for supplying multiple API keys so that if quota is exhausted on one, it automatically uses the next available key.

• Optimise search api, so that it's able to search videos containing partial match for the search query in either video title or description.

  • Ex: A video with title How to make tea? should match for the search query tea how
