How the YouTube Trending Now screensaver works

The saver reads YouTube's own real trending chart for a region from the YouTube Data API.

Each entry shows a real video title, channel and real view count.

The pipeline refreshes the board on its own schedule.

A free Google Cloud API key is required for this endpoint.

A worked example

A real video with millions of real views sits at the top of the board, exactly matching YouTube's own trending chart.
