About this endpoint

GET /v1/dailymotion/channels returns data.channels[], the 17 Dailymotion categories. Each has id, name, slug, description, createdAt and updatedAt. The route takes no parameters and always returns the full list.

id is the value the category videos route expects, for example music, news or auto. slug is the category's URL slug on the site and can differ from the id: auto is cars, people is celeb and fun is comedy-entertainment. Use id for the API and slug only when you are building a site link.

Dailymotion Categories API FAQ

What are the 17 category ids?

animals, auto, people, fun, creation, school, videogames, kids, lifestyle, shortfilms, music, news, sport, tech, travel, tv and webcam. The response also gives the display name and description for each.

Why does slug differ from id?

id is the value the category videos route takes. slug is the category's path on the website and was renamed for some categories, so auto is cars, people is celeb and fun is comedy-entertainment.

How many credits does the category list 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.
