API functionality for perspective videos

[susanodd]

This can be implemented now. The models are in the master branch.

The only arguments needed by the API are the gloss id, the video, and "left" or "right"

Is this for Glos Video, NMM video and voorbeeldzinnen? Can I have a link to example API template how to upload left and right video?

This is for the perspective videos. @Woseseltops wants to do this one. :)

• What naming convention do you use on your side for video files?
• The example perspective videos from @uklomp was the initial character of the filename 'M', 'L', 'R'.
• Normally, the Django form uploads do not look at the filename. A new filename is given to them. For the new API for a single gloss video, the gloss ID is in the url, so it doesn't look at the filename. For the "zip archive" API, the name of the files inside the zip archive include the gloss annotation in order to be looked up. I am improving that code but it's not finished yet. The new single gloss video upload from @Woseseltops is a pull request.)
• For perspective videos, then either the filename would need to be inspected, or an extra parameter would be needed for direction.

I kinda like the approach where we just add extra parameters to the existing video upload end point. @rem0g , can I get your approval before I implement?

url = 'http://54.93.111.92/dictionary/api_update_gloss/14/video'

# The path to your video file
left_video_file_path = 'left_video.mp4'
right_video_file_path = 'right_video.mp4'

# Auth
headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {BEARER_TOKEN}'}

# Open the video file in binary mode and send it in a POST request
files = {'left': open(left_video_file_path, 'rb'), 
         'right': open(right_video_file_path, 'rb')}
response = requests.post(url, files=files, headers=headers)

Yes, perfect!
