Update Project Delete Project

Project description

-User upload videos from local with uploading page where you can enter name, description, video, uploaded time
-I use Cloudflare stream upload API( https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/uploading-videos/upload-video-file/) to upload video from local. For this, we need to create an api endpoint, headers( with authentication),and files( open and read file from local), and send a POST request to the api endpoint. We retrieve the video UID, watchable URL from the response. Once we upload, we display the video with their watchale URL and delete them with UID.

-A function which takes filepath as a parameter to retrieve video watch url, video uid. We call the upload API and get the correspondent data from the response. We use requests.POST method to send requests to the api endpoint.
 -Upload_function. We take data such as name, description  from request.FILE() and request.POT. Once we retrieve the video,we need to store them in tmp file as we need a filepath to call the API. With file path, we call the API and save the response into data base.
-We have delete function to delete the specific video both from database and cloudflare stream
