I am trying to get the list of video sorted by most viewed you tube video.I have been trying the following code but it is not returning any response.

var request = gapi.client.youtube.search.list(
 part: 'snippet,contentDetails,statistics',
 q: query,
 maxResults: count,
 order:'viewCount'
 );
request.execute(onSearchResponse);

Above code does not return any response.Can someone please redirect me in right direction I have already looked into documentation.

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list

Using the YouTube API v3 (and modifying the parameters supplied in this answer), you can use this request URL for get the most viewed YouTube video.

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&part=snippet&order=viewcount&maxResults=1

The following information was taken from the YouTube Data API - official documentation:

• 
  key: your API key.


• 
  part: The part parameter specifies a comma-separated list of one or more search resource properties that the API response will include. Set the parameter value to snippet.


• 
  order¹: in this case, is used viewcount.


• 
  maxResults: specifies the maximum number of items that should be returned in the result set. Acceptable values are 0 to 50, inclusive. The default value is 5.

¹ Linked documentation says that only these values are allowed in the order parameter:

• 
  date: Resources are sorted in reverse chronological order based on the date they were created.


• 
  rating: Resources are sorted from highest to lowest rating.


• 
  relevance: Resources are sorted based on their relevance to the search query. This is the default value for this parameter.


• 
  title: Resources are sorted alphabetically by title.


• 
  videoCount: Channels are sorted in descending order of their number of uploaded videos.


• 
  viewCount: Resources are sorted from highest to lowest number of views. For live broadcasts, videos are sorted by number of concurrent viewers while the broadcasts are ongoing.
