EveryData platform API
Dailymotion API
Dailymotion videos, channels, playlists, channel uploads, and comments are the Dailymotion objects documented here; 6 actions including `search`, `video`, `comments` keep Dailymotion selectors and outputs separate.
On Dailymotion, `search` handles matching public results through `keyword`, while `video` handles one public video through `url`; neither Dailymotion action receives undeclared filters.

What does each Dailymotion action accept?
Each answer below pairs one callable action with its real inputs. Parameter meanings and allowed values are action-specific; a familiar name does not carry the same meaning across every platform.
Official sources are linked only to clarify the platform term beside them. They do not imply platform authorization or endorsement, and they do not add official-site features to the EveryInfra API contract.
What do the Dailymotion search parameters mean?
Use search with keyword to discover public Dailymotion videos. Results are a request-scoped discovery set, not a complete platform index. Video discovery matches titles and topics supplied in the query. Call Dailymotion search with date_range, upload_date, sort, and keyword; Dailymotion search exposes duration_seconds, like_count, is_live, platform, category, channel_id, url, created_at, id, view_count, title, channel_url, tags, thumbnail_url, channel_name, comment_count, and description.

How to use the Dailymotion API
- 01Read the public catalog and choose a platform action.
- 02Send the platform, action, and required parameters to POST /api/v1/social.
- 03Handle a synchronous result or poll the returned job ID when the selected action is asynchronous.
- 04Store the structured response fields needed by your application.
curl -X POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"platform":"dailymotion","action":"search","params":{"keyword":"<keyword>"}}'
Dailymotion API questions
What can I retrieve with the Dailymotion API?
Set platform to dailymotion. The current catalog lists search, video details, comments, channel, channel videos, and more. These action names identify different Dailymotion objects or views; they are not interchangeable search modes.
Which input starts a Dailymotion `search` request?
Specifies the search term for Dailymotion video discovery. The search action queries videos only and does not support searching for channels or playlists by keyword; use channel or playlist actions with target URLs instead. Send it as keyword inside params.
Which fields can Dailymotion `search` return?
Its declared schema includes title, description, duration_seconds, and view_count. A declared field can still be absent from an individual source record, and every other action has its own field list.
Does every Dailymotion action return immediately?
No assumption is needed: this page labels each action's delivery mode. The current catalog contains sync delivery; poll a returned job ID only for an action labeled asynchronous.
