Notes
Clips are fetched in batches no larger than 100. When requesting more than 100
clips, it takes more than one request so it can take a little time. You can see
individual requests by passing the --debug flag.
Currently it doesn't seem to be possible to get a list of clips ordered by time of creation, only by view count. Clips with the same view count seem to be returned in random order. This can break paging resulting in duplicate clips listed or clips missed.
