Making bots isn't illegal so if that's your concern then I wouldn't give a shit, if you just don't want your code getting jacked I'm pretty sure you can make private repos.
Run this to see if the views change
import time
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
url = "https://www.website.com" # REPLACE VARIABLE ON THIS LINE
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get(url)
time.sleep(number of seconds in video) # REPLACE VARIABLE ON THIS LINE
driver.close()

If you find out that you just need to submit the request but it's based on IP you should find out how many views register per IP and spam requests through free proxies. You can find lists of em on google.
I don't have any experience faking views. Maybe upload three videos: ping one, have a headless browser (selenium/mechanize) visit another and stay on the page until the end of the video and for the third send a request with just a user-agent header. Check the views afterwards.
EDIT: Actually if...
Yeah I feel you. I still recommend always commenting if you plan on editing anything later. Not that I follow my own advice, I can't tell you how many times I've gone on an addy binge and spent two days writing extremely illegible code that somehow runs. So many rewrites...
I would expect higher views to translate to higher ranks, yes. Most websites have a sort by views option do they not? Even if they don't someone will be more inclined to click the video with 1k views than the one with 20 views.
