Important update on publishing a video – Children Protection Privacy
Dailymotion is committed to the online privacy and protection of children, and we are taking steps to ensure our platform is safe for them. In order to achieve this, we ask all content creators to identify and label whether their videos are “created for kids” prior to uploading them. Identifying whether your video is “created for kids” will allow us to address the content to the right audience and help you comply with several laws including COPPA and GDPR.
Visit our Help Center for more information on how to determine the audience of your video

On creating a video
During the video upload process, you must include the is_created_for_kids parameter to your query to create the video. Omitting this after September 2021, will result in an error.
- Create the video:
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
-d "url=<VIDEO_URL>" \
-d "is_created_for_kids=false" \
"https://api.dailymotion.com/me/videos"
- Or create and publish the video in one call:
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
-d "url=<VIDEO_URL>" \
-d "published=true" \
-d "is_created_for_kids=false" \
-d "title=<TITLE>" \
-d "channel=<CHANNEL>" \
-d "tags=<TAGS>" \

On existing video
Videos uploaded before September 2021 can take the “created for kids” value set in your channel. To publish an existing unpublished video, update your query with the is_created_for_kids parameter.
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
-d "published=true" \
-d "is_created_for_kids=false" \
