Popular - mostViewed

Example

example.js

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

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

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.
