Get Dailymotion video desctiption from URL


I'm trying to extract video information from Dailymotion video URLs. I'm able to get information such as thumbnail, title, channel and arthur from a valid Dailymotion API url.

eg https://api.dailymotion.com/video/x7lni3_mario-kart-remi-gaillard_fun

Anyhow this doesn't output the video description. Is there any way to extract the description from an API URL or any other way?


Solution

  • Please have a look at the Dailymotion Graph API documentation and the Dailymotion Graph API Reference because this isn't how it works. If you need some specific fields from an object, you need to specify it in your request, like this:

    https://api.dailymotion.com/video/x7lni3?fields=id,title,description
    

    Here is all the information you can extract from a video.
