Images, tags and other lists stay with their parent result instead of creating extra rows. Invalid or unavailable inputs, inputs with no results, and requests that fail after all retries produce a row with status: failed. At most one failed row is saved per input; it includes error_code and error_message explaining the outcome. A normal end of pagination after collected results does not add a failed row.

Input requirements and collection settings ⚙️

Setting	What to enter
What to collect (mode)	Choose the information to collect.
Maximum results per search or link (maxResults)	Collect up to this many results for each search or link. Minimum: 1.
Search keywords (searchQueries)	Enter one search phrase per line. For Channel Search, Playlist Search, Video Search.
Channel links (channelUrls)	Paste one link per line. Example: https://www.dailymotion.com/euronews-en For Channel Details, Channel Playlists, Channel Videos.
Video links (videoUrls)	Paste one link per line. Example: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xb7f9xa For Video Details, Video Transcript.

Collection mode	Fields to use
Channel Details	Channel links
Channel Playlists	Channel links
Channel Search	Search keywords
Channel Videos	Channel links
Playlist Search	Search keywords
Video Details	Video links
Video Search	Search keywords
Video Transcript	Video links

The result limit applies separately to each search or supplied link. Collection ends earlier when no more matching results are available.

Dailymotion scraping use cases 🎯

Media monitoring

Search videos about a brand, event or industry and retain their publisher information.

Transcript research

Collect available timed text for video research and content indexing.

Publisher benchmarking

Compare channel descriptions, audience figures and upload catalogs.

News video catalogs

Organize uploads from selected news channels with dates and durations.

Playlist discovery

Find thematic playlists for editorial sourcing and topic research.

Pricing and saved-result behavior 💰

See the Actor's Pricing tab for the active pricing model and current rate. Store settings may change, so this README does not claim a fixed cost.

Under dataset-item pricing:

• Each collected item saved in the dataset is one result.
• Images, tags and other values attached to that item do not create additional rows.
• Automatic retry attempts do not create extra dataset rows.
• A saved failed row is also one billable dataset item, including invalid inputs, unavailable items, no results, or exhausted retries. At most one failed row is saved per input, including when some results were already collected.
• maxResults caps all saved rows for each input, including its failed row. Repeated copies of the same input are processed once. More inputs or a higher limit can produce more saved results.

Dailymotion scraper API and integrations 🔌

Replace $ACTOR_ID with the ID shown in the Actor API tab and $APIFY_TOKEN with your token.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/$ACTOR_ID/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"video-search","searchQueries":["music"],"maxResults":10}'

Use schedules for recurring collection, webhooks for completion notifications, and Apify integrations for Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, cloud storage, a CRM or your own application.

Reliability, retries, and public-data limits ⚠️

Temporary connection errors, timeouts and access restrictions are retried automatically, up to five attempts. Invalid inputs save a failed row without an HTTP request; confirmed unavailable items save a failed row without unnecessary retries. Exhausted retries also save a failed row. Results already collected remain available if a later request fails, and normal pagination completion adds no error row. Collection also stops after two consecutive fully processed pages add no new results, even if the website provides another cursor. Required detail lookups are completed before checking a page; new results reset the counter, and independent reply branches are checked separately. Failures while initializing the Actor, saving data or scheduling requests stop the run instead of being reported as a failed website result.

Transcript segments are available only for videos that expose a supported transcript.

The actor collects metadata and transcript text, not restricted video playback.

Dailymotion controls which information is publicly available. Removed, private or restricted items may be unavailable, and optional values can be null or empty. A run can still fail if the results cannot be saved.

Frequently asked questions ❓

Does it require an account on Dailymotion?

No. You do not need to provide an account, password or login cookies. Only publicly available information is collected.

How does maxResults work?

It limits the number of saved results separately for every input. The minimum is 1. With maxResults set to 10, each input returns at most 10 available results. A detail lookup normally returns one record per input.

Can it export a transcript?

Video Transcript exports available text segments with timestamps and language.

Can I search playlists and channels?

Yes. Playlist Search and Channel Search are available alongside Video Search.

Why are some fields empty?

The website may not publish that value, or the field may belong to a different collection mode. Missing values remain null or empty instead of being guessed.

Can I export the results to a spreadsheet?

Yes. Download CSV, Excel or JSON from the Apify dataset. All returned fields are included in the same results table.

Support and responsible use 🛟

For a reproducible issue, share the run ID, selected mode, result limit and a safe public example through the support channel. Never disclose access tokens, passwords or proxy credentials.

Use public Dailymotion information lawfully and responsibly. Follow applicable privacy, copyright, data-protection, contractual and platform requirements when storing, analyzing or redistributing results.
