I have tried to use the new YouTube API to get the videos with the highest view count of all time.

I have tried to use this request:

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=id%2Csnippet&maxResults=10&order=viewCount&safeSearch=none&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

I thought it would work. It returns 10 videos that have a quite high view count and are sorted in a descending order by view count. However, those videos are definitely not the absolute top 10.

Is there a way to make YouTube API return the real top of most viewed videos?

How do you know which are the top 10 most videos *(outside of YouTube Data API)*? – Mauricio Arias Olave Apr 17 '19 at 22:09
I just checked, the highest view count was 6,139,436,431 views. And I couldn't find a video with more views. – kangkyu Apr 19 '19 at 22:23
