[feature] deleting videos

I'd like to be able to delete videos per script.

Background: scripts, that upload stuff will eventually fill up their quota. So if a script should be able to run permanently, it must be able to free up space. The script I made in january has uploaded 1500 short videos so far, and I don't intend to delete them by hand.

Example:

# delete a specific video
prismedia --delete_video d1b75379-fb98-46d1-99de-0ce1a2b8c5d5

# delete videos until 500mb of quota is freed up
prismedia --delete_oldest_video_until_free_quota 500

My questions:

is that something prismedia should be able to do or is this requirement too specific?

would this work:

  videos = sorted(oauth.get(url + "/users/me/videos"), key='updatedAt')
  total_quota = oauth.get(url + "/users/me")[videoQuota]
  for video in videos:
      quota_used = oauth.get(url + "/users/me/video-quota-used")
      if total_quota - quota_used) > free_quota_target:
          break
      try:
          oauth.delete(url + "/api/v1/videos/" + videos['uuid'])
      except:
          print("can't delete + str(videos['uuid']))

(I'm not entirely sure about the syntax here)

Hello!

I have to admit this feature is not planned at the moment, but it's something that could be possible.

I do not know the functions allowed by the API about that, perhaps we could list videos massively, or sort them, but I am not sure
