# Dailymotion API
> Read Dailymotion in real time — no login or API key needed. Look up any user (followers, following, total videos and views) and pull their videos, playlists, followers, following and liked videos. Fetch any video's detail (views, duration, likes, comments, tags), its comments, related videos and subtitle tracks, and resolve its playable stream URLs (adaptive HLS) and a direct download link via the public player metadata. Get playlists and their videos, browse channels (categories) and their videos, list all categories, and discover content with full-text video and user search plus trending and most-viewed (featured) feeds. Every call is live (no cache) and returns the upstream Dailymotion Data API shape, paginated with page + limit. 22 endpoints — broader than the typical Dailymotion wrapper. Built for video discovery, creator and audience analytics, content aggregation and media back-ends. A Dailymotion data API — distinct from the YouTube API (different platform). No upstream key, no cache.
