About this endpoint

GET /v1/dailymotion/hashtags/{hashtag}/videos takes one hashtag of 2 to 50 letters, digits or underscores, with or without the #. It returns lookupStatus, hashtag with the leading #, data.videos[], data.total and data.page. Accented and non-Latin tags are accepted in their normal composed form. A row is a feed row: id, url, title, description, createdAt, durationSeconds, aspectRatio, thumbnailUrl, viewCount, explicit and channel with its id, username, screen name, account type and avatar.

An unknown tag answers lookupStatus: not_found with an empty list. A known tag with no videos in this view answers found with an empty list and total 0. total reports up to 5,000, but rows can end well before that: 598 on football, while news passes 1,300. Dailymotion picks feed videos by region, so this is the US view and a tag with no US videos can read as empty here while it has videos elsewhere. The video search tags filter is a different system, so rows there do not imply hashtag feed rows.

Dailymotion Hashtag API FAQ

Do I include the # in the hashtag?

Either way works. The value is lowercased, a leading # is dropped, and accents are composed before any remaining combining marks are removed. An emoji or a one-letter tag is refused with a 400 and the reason.

Why is the list empty for a tag I know exists?

The feed is the US view, and a tag with no US videos can read as empty here while it has videos in another region. A tag the site does not know answers not_found instead. Rows under the video search tags filter are a different system and do not imply hashtag feed rows.

How far can I page a hashtag?

total reports up to 5,000 videos, but rows can end well before that: 598 on football, while news passes 1,300. A page holds 30 videos and page selects the next page. Each page is a separate request.

How much does a hashtag 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.
