Which architecture, in Python, to use to interact with a third party Web API?

Question

I am new to web development and working on a personal project with motive to learn to build websites in Python that interacts with third party API.

My website is very simple, it that allows user to play a YouTube video and list the data corresponding to it, like no. of views, Likes & Dislikes,in the same page similar to a YouTube page where videos are played. I would be using YouTube Data API and Player API to do it.

I would like to know which web architecture should i follow to build such a website. I have build sites on MVC architecture in Java but here i am not sure if that is feasible. I would be using urllib2 and requests library to access the API in XML & JSON. I tried to search it in the web but in most of the cases i got 'how to build a Web API' which do not suffice my requirement.

I would appreciate if someone provide me a link to resource or any Github project from where i can learn about architecture in depth.

Thanks in Advance.

Unless I misunderstood your requirements, your app consumes the YouTube API. At the minimum you would need these python packages flask, requests, google-api-python-client and oauth2client (documentation available in each project's page)

Here are some examples from Google on how you would use their library.

The 12 factor app page has general guidlines on how to design a web application.
