What is the Dailymotion Scraper?

The Dailymotion Scraper is an Apify actor that pulls metadata from any Dailymotion video, playlist, or channel — fast, HTTP-only, no browser. Drop in a list of URLs (videos, playlists, user pages) and get back a clean dataset with title, duration, view count, likes, language, tags, uploader, upload date, thumbnail. No video download — pure metadata extraction for analytics, archiving, and discovery.

Useful for European content research where Dailymotion still holds significant market share, especially in France (creator-economy data not always available via YouTube alone).

Use cases

• Content marketing research — analyze Dailymotion top-performers in your niche by views and engagement.
• Multi-platform video analytics — combine with YouTube and Vimeo data for full creator-economy insight.
• Channel monitoring — daily refresh of a creator's catalog and view counts.
• Tag / metadata SEO research — see which tags rank top videos use.
• Archive building — full-channel metadata snapshot for legal or research purposes.

FAQ — Dailymotion API alternatives

Why use this scraper vs the Dailymotion Graph API? The Graph API requires app registration, has quota, and lacks some fields. This scraper is no-key, no-quota, and bulk-friendly.

Does it download video files? No — metadata only. To download, use a video-download tool (yt-dlp supports Dailymotion).

Does it work for private/paid videos? No — public content only. Private videos need authentication outside this scraper's scope.

How fast for bulk? ~3-5 videos per second per actor instance. For 10K videos, run 4-8 concurrent actor runs.
