YouToob

This repo is home to a small API, written in Go, that provides a simple way to retrieve the following data about a YouTube channel:

• The latest video published.
  • /:channelName/video
• The latest short published.
  • /:channelName/short
• The latest VOD published.
  • /:channelName/vod
• The next upcoming livestream.
  • /:channelName/live

Tech Stack

• Go
• Gin
• Docker
• Axiom Logging

To Do

• Add a Dockerfile to the project.
  • While I love building a single executable, I'd much rather have a container that I can deploy instead.
• Add support for Turso to store some response data.
  • Should help prevent quota/rate limit issues (if we ever run in to those) by limiting calls to the YouTube API.
  • For example, the following bits of data should prove useful:
    • The channel name -> channel ID mapping.
    • The channel name/ID -> playlist ID(s) mapping.
• Add tests.
  • Mostly for the experience of how to do this because I really hate writing tests...
