Swift Load API

This is the backend python flask app for Swift Load. It provides REST APIs to our frontend application and performs the POST and GET requests. It receives data from the user to upload the required video\videos using all the various details the user provides with like Video Title, Description, Category, Keywords, ThumbnaiFile, PrivacyStatus (uses Youtube Data V3 API to upload the video). It uploads the videos to a specified Youtube channel you authenticate with while logging in.
