Python YouTube API Tutorial: Sort a Playlist by Most Popular Videos

In this Python Programming Tutorial, we'll be learning how to get the most popular videos in a YouTube playlist. I use scripts like this a lot personally when I don't have time to watch an entire playlist and want to only see the most-watched videos. Surprisingly YouTube doesn't have this ability on their site, but Python allows us to do this programmatically. Let's get started...

This man deserve more subscribers. His Django tutorial changed my orientation. That Django tutorial is Premium and yet he gave us free. He is sound, can teach and magnanimous for not selling any of his video. May God continue to bless you Corey.

You made us understand that it is better to have an upload once a month in high quality rather than upload once a week that is just in an average level.
Thanks man ♥️

Glad to listen your Voice after so long! Corey:-The Python Giant💟

Can't thank you enough for these YouTube API videos, man! Ideas for more videos:

1. How to write a change to every video description on your channel (eg. if you had a third YouTube channel, how to add "My Third Channel" to all of your descriptions)
2. How to search for broken links in all of a channel's video descriptions
3. How to search all comments on a video for a specific keyword (useful with popular videos that could have 100s or 1000s of comments)

Thanks, Corey.
Promise never to start a video without "Hey there, how is it going everybody!"

[NipkowDisk]

We should all binge-watch Corey's videos so he winds up being the most popular in any Python playlist; he's a phenomenal teacher of the language.

Thank you for your post.
As a novice to learn Python, I have learned a lot from your tutorial videos for Python
for the last couple of months.
Your explanation is very clear, well organized, and very useful to improve my coding skill.
Thank you again and
May God bless you!

Hello Corey, I found your videos when I was searching for clarify Python concepts like decorators or metaclasses that I read at books. As all people comment, your videos are very useful, and despite I don't listen (and write) english very well, I think your videos have helped me a lot.

[zikomo]

Liking your videos without watching just to show my support for amazing content, the best for Python hands-down!

[ReemRashwan]

Glad to see you uploading videos. Welcome back Corey!

Awesome videos. I have literally watched like everything on this channel, I learn something new every time from your videos. I wish professors taught like this!
Just a suggestion, it would be great if you could make some videos on DS and Algo in python.
