Dailymotion Developer API

API

API for accessing Dailymotion's video platform content and management tools

Overview

The Dailymotion Developer API is a RESTful interface enabling interaction with Dailymotion's video ecosystem. It returns JSON-formatted responses and includes endpoints for searching videos by keyword/category, retrieving metadata (title, duration, thumbnails), uploading videos, managing playlists, accessing analytics, and embedding content. Use cases: custom video discovery apps, website integrations, automated upload workflows for creators, and performance metric analysis. Authenticated operations (like uploads) require OAuth 2.0 for secure access.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://developer.dailymotion.com/')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
