## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Dailymotion Scraper — Extract Video Metadata, Views, Tags, Playlists

> Extract **Dailymotion video metadata** in bulk: title, duration, views, likes, language, tags, uploader, upload date. Supports single videos, playlists, user channels, and batch URL input. No authentication needed, no video download — clean structured data only. HTTP-only, $0.002 per video.

⭐ **Bookmark this Dailymotion Scraper** — Apify ranks actors by bookmarks, so it directly helps the visibility of this scraper on the Apify Store.

### What is the Dailymotion Scraper?

The **Dailymotion Scraper** is an Apify actor that pulls metadata from any [Dailymotion](https://www.dailymotion.com/) 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.

### Input

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9example",
    "https://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/x123abc",
    "https://www.dailymotion.com/user/example_user"
  ]
}
```

### Output

```json
{
  "video_id": "x9example",
  "url": "https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9example",
  "title": "Example video title",
  "duration_sec": 312,
  "views": 15823,
  "likes": 124,
  "language": "fr",
  "tags": ["tutorial", "python"],
  "uploader": "example_user",
  "uploaded_at": "2026-03-15",
  "thumbnail": "https://s2.dmcdn.net/..."
}
```

### Pricing

**PAY_PER_EVENT — $0.002 per video metadata fetched** (= $2 per 1,000). Failed fetches not charged.

### 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.

echo '{
  "url": "https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9aak2y"
}' |
apify call dltik/dailymotion-scraper --silent --output-dataset

## MCP server setup

```json

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
