Browse large video catalogs via the API

The Dailymotion API returns a maximum of 1 000 results per request. This limit ensures consistent performance and reliability for all users.

If your catalogs exceeds 1 000 videos, you can still retrieve your full dataset by splitting your request into smaller time ranges using date filters, and cover a specific period (i.e. month per month) with each request.

API call examples

The structure of your API call depends on whether you're accessing public or private content.

Private videos

Private content requires authentication. Once authenticated, replace YOUR_PROFILE_ID with your actual profile ID, and use visibility=private:

curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://api.dailymotion.com/v2/profiles/YOUR_PROFILE_ID/videos?page=1&page_size=100&fields=title%2Cvideo_id&visibility=private&created_after=2026-05-01T00%3A00%3A00Z&created_before=2026-05-01T23%3A59%3A59Z' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>'

Public videos

Public data (video title, category, xID, etc) is available without authentication.

The example below retrieves public videos published on L'Équipe (profile ID: xiy) during May 2026:

curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://api.dailymotion.com/v2/profiles/xiy/videos?page=1&page_size=100&fields=title%2Cvideo_id&created_after=2026-05-01T00%3A00%3A00Z&created_before=2026-05-01T23%3A59%3A59Z' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>'

Date filters

Use these 2 parameters together to define a time window (per month, week, etc):

Both parameters accept ISO 8601 dates.

Pagination

We recommend using the following parameters to ease navigation within the results:

Fields

Use the fields parameter to specify which video attributes to return. In the example above, we return title and video_id. You can replace or extend this with any supported fields that fit your need.
