Reduce API requests by prompting for export target before making API requests #15

According to the demo video in the README, the program currently prompts users to select what data they want to export and downloads it before it asks where you want to export it to. As for half of the supported platforms only partial exports are supported, it would make sense to prompt for the export target first, that way you can avoid making API requests for data that will never be used. Making less API requests, will also make it less likely for YouTube to flag it for suspicious activity.
