Dailymotion Channel videos API

Q: How do I compare videos fairly?

Normalize for age and length: divide view_count by the days since created_at, and compare videos with similar duration_seconds. Keep rows where is_live is true in their own group, since live content is a different format from uploads.

Q: How do I read the comments on a video from the list?

Each row's url is that video's page link. Pass it to Dailymotion Comments to read its comments, or to Dailymotion Video details to refresh one video's numbers later without listing the whole channel again.

Browse the uploads of a Dailymotion channel, with each video's title, length, views, likes, comments, tags and creation time. Pass the channel page link in url; one batch does not necessarily cover the whole archive.

Dailymotion Channel videos lists the videos a channel has published, given the channel's url, and returns one row per video: title, description, length, views, likes, comments, category, tags, a live flag, thumbnail and creation time, with the channel's ID, name and link. Use it to study what a publisher posts and what performs, for content audits, comparing formats or topics within a channel, or picking videos for a closer look.

Pass the channel page link, the same one Dailymotion Channel takes, rather than a video link. category follows Dailymotion's own taxonomy, so it is not comparable with categories on other platforms. tags is an empty array, not null, when a video has none, and a null count means Dailymotion did not disclose it rather than zero.

Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

AI prompt

Paste this into your AI assistant. It already holds this endpoint's parameters, response fields and an example request, so the assistant can ask what you need and then write the scraper.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Dailymotion Channel videos endpoint (dailymotion/channel_videos).

Endpoint contract:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to dailymotion and action to channel_videos, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - url: Specifies the full Dailymotion web link corresponding to the requested action scope: a video page URL for video or comments, a channel page URL for channel or channel_videos, or a playlist page URL for playlist.
- Optional parameters:
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 100. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 20)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: id, url, title, description, duration_seconds, duration_sec, view_count, like_count, comment_count, category, tags, is_live; 17 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=dailymotion.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "dailymotion",
  "action": "channel_videos",
  "params": {
    "url": "https://www.dailymotion.com/euronews-en"
  }
}
- Price: $1.39 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

Field	Meaning
`id`	The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
`url`	Link to the record on the platform.
`title`	Title. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts).
`description`	Summary or description, usually shorter than text.
`duration_seconds`	Duration in seconds. null for content that is not video or audio.
`duration_sec`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`view_count`	Views or plays. null means not disclosed, not 0.
`like_count`	Likes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0.
`comment_count`	Comments. null means not disclosed, not 0.
`category`	Category name in the platform's own taxonomy, not normalized across platforms.
`tags`	Array of tags. An empty array, not null, when there are none.
`is_live`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`thumbnail_url`	Thumbnail link, lower resolution than image_url.
`channel_id`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`channel_name`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`channel_url`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`created_at`	Creation time, same format as posted_at.
`platform`	Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).

FAQ

Can I pass a playlist link instead of a channel?

No. This capability needs the channel page link. A playlist has its own capability, Dailymotion Playlist, which takes the full playlist page link and returns the playlist's details along with its videos.

How do I compare videos fairly?

Normalize for age and length: divide view_count by the days since created_at, and compare videos with similar duration_seconds. Keep rows where is_live is true in their own group, since live content is a different format from uploads.

How do I read the comments on a video from the list?

Each row's url is that video's page link. Pass it to Dailymotion Comments to read its comments, or to Dailymotion Video details to refresh one video's numbers later without listing the whole channel again.

Errors and billing

401: Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422: Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402: Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429: The account's per-minute request limit was reached (all of its API keys count together; a key's own lower limit applies first). Wait for Retry-After and try again; a rate package in the console raises the limit.
503: Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty: The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).
