Youtube-Fetch

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.

• When django server starts, the management commands automatically start syncing the API with database.
• Dashboard http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ to access the sync data.
• Implement a GET API which returns the stored video data in a paginated response sorted in decending order of published datetime.
• User can see videos from database available as REST-API at <base_url>/videos.
• The API will give 50 results on every query. To view next ones, use <base_url>/videos?page=page_number
• Admin Dashboard to view all videos in database
• User Can add Multiple Youtube-API keys in Admin Dashboard, so that if quota is exhausted on one, it automatically uses the next available key.

Getting started
