# Dailymotion Category Videos API

Browse one of the 17 categories in the order Dailymotion explores it, 30 videos per page.

`GET /v1/dailymotion/categories/{categoryId}/videos` takes a category id from the categories route, such as `news`, `music` or `tech`. It returns `data.categoryId`, `data.videos[]`, `data.total` and `data.page`. A feed row is thinner than a video record: `id`, `url`, `title`, `description`, `createdAt`, `durationSeconds`, `aspectRatio`, `thumbnailUrl`, `viewCount`, `explicit` and `channel` with its id, username, screen name, account type and avatar.

A page holds 30 videos and the route takes only `page`. Dailymotion picks feed videos by region, so this is the US view and another region sees different videos. Use the video route with a row's `id` when you need the full record.

## FAQ

### Where do I get a category id?

From GET /v1/dailymotion/channels. Its id field is the value this route takes, for example news or music. The category list also carries the display name and description.

### Why does the feed look different from a video record?

Feed rows are thinner by design. They carry the fields a feed shows: title, description, created time, duration, aspect ratio, thumbnail, views, explicitness and channel. Call the video route with the row id for the full record.

### Why is this the US view?

Dailymotion picks feed videos by region, so the result is the US feed. Another region would see a different set of videos.

### How much does a category page cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth. Each paginated page is a separate billed request.
