Method Route Description
post /api/videos/upload Upload a file(video) to the server path to be processed and sent to vimeo

For the server to work smoothly you must create a vimeo account in order to get an access token which is used to interact with the vimeo api and be able to upload videos to their platform. Once the token is obtained create a .env file in the root of the project and put inside the access token of your vimeo account:

VIMEO_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token_here
