# Popular - mostViewed

## Example

{% code title="example.js" %}

```javascript
const { Popular } = require('nytimes-api');
const popular = new Popular('your-super-secret-api-key');

popular.mostViewed(data => console.log(data[0]);
```

{% endcode %}

### What does it do?

`mostViewed` gets the articles with the most amount of views on the New York Times' website.

The code example above, however, only displays the most viewed **article** rather than the most viewed **articles**.
