What can be monitored with Dailymotion’s Reporting API?
The aim of Dailymotion’s Reporting API is to monitor the performance of your videos, analyze your audience’s behavior and optimize your monetization. Thanks to a set of dimensions, filters and metrics, this tool allows you to create customized reports and integrate them to your monitoring solution.
Please note that the Reporting API is only available for our Verified Partners.

Reporting parameters
The Dailymotion Reporting API allows you to monitor the performance of your videos with more flexibility and granularity. It accepts metrics – such as the number of views or the time watched – that can be tightened by dimensions and filters for more precise results.
Metrics are measurements related to activity:
- Number of views
- Time watched in seconds
- Number of impressions generated
- Estimated earnings in USD / EUR
Dimensions are used to organize metrics across common criteria:
- Month / Day / Hour
- Channel / Content owner’s channel URL
- Video ID
- Title of the video
- Type of video (live or video)
- Visitor domain / subdomain / country / device type / page URL
- Monetization category: video or website
Filters are used to scope down the result set:
- channelSlug (specific channel)
- videoOwnerChannelSlug (specific video owner channel)
- mediaType (specific media type)
- visitorDomainGroup (specific visitor domain group)
- monetizationType (monetization category to either Video Monetization or Website Monetization)
How does it work?
As you can’t combine all these metrics, filters and dimensions in a single report, please refer to the table below for guidance.
