How health is measured
- Health = the share of calls that returned data, in percent. Empty results, failures and unknown outcomes do not count as returning data.
- Levels: 90% and above is healthy, 70% and above is available, 40% and above is limited; anything lower is mostly down.
- A period (the last 24 hours, one hour or one day) gets a score only once it has at least 50 calls. Periods with fewer calls show as normal: a few failures among a handful of calls do not mean the API is down.
- Calls include real customer calls and our own daily probe calls. Request errors (wrong parameters, no balance) are excluded.
- Average time counts only calls that completed normally: response time for sync calls, acceptance to completion for async ones.

Search public results on Dailymotion. Accepts these parameters: date_range, upload_date, sort, and keyword. Returns these fields: duration_seconds, like_count, is_live, and category.
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.
Request parameters
| Name | In | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Authorization | header | string | Yes | - | Bearer followed by your API key. Create it in the console; never put it in a URL or a code repository. |
platform | body | string | Yes | dailymotion | Platform identifier, fixed value. |
action | body | string | Yes | search | Capability identifier, fixed value. |
keyword | body.params | Not declared | Yes | - | 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. |
date_range | body.params | enum | No | - | Filters video search results by relative upload window using today, week, month, or year. Accepts predefined intervals only rather than custom date bounds, with specific cutoff thresholds determined by platform filters. Use date_range independently without passing the compatibility parameter upload_date.Allowed valuesmonthtodayweekyear |
sort | body.params | enum | No | - | Sorts video search results by relevance, newest (upload date), or most_viewed. These values apply exclusively to search and do not reorder comments by posting time or helpfulness.Allowed valuesmost_viewednewestrelevance |
upload_date | body.params | enum | No | - | Serves as a compatibility alias for date_range, accepting today, week, month, or year to filter video upload windows rather than select video IDs. When both are supplied, upload_date overrides date_range; using date_range directly is recommended.Allowed valuesmonthtodayweekyear |
limit | body.params | integer (1–100) | No | 10 |

}Response fields
Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the source does not provide are never made up.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
id | The record's unique ID on the source platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms. |
url | Link to the record on the source 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. |
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 source 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). |
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
- Per-minute request limit reached. Wait for Retry-After and try again.
- 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).
