About this endpoint

GET /v1/dailymotion/users/{user} takes a user id (x2znl3e), a username (abinashkathariya) or a profile URL. Usernames are not case-sensitive; ids are. On found, data.user carries id, username, screenName, url, description, status, country, city, language, createdAt, verified and partner, with counts for views, videos, playlists, followers, following, reposts and community members. links holds the website and social pages the user lists, avatars has nine sizes and cover has five. featuredVideo is the video pinned on the profile when there is one.

extras adds tagline, accountType, isArtist, liveStreamingEnabled and premiumCreator, with extras.status saying whether they are included. A deleted user answers lookupStatus: not_found with user: null, while the user's lists can still be found because Dailymotion keeps them available.

Dailymotion User API FAQ

Can I pass a username or a profile URL?

Both work. Use a user id like x2znl3e, a username like abinashkathariya, or a full profile URL. A leading @ is dropped, and a URL is reduced to its first path segment.

What does extras.status mean?

included means the fields are present. not_offered means the user has no channel page details. unavailable means they are temporarily unavailable and empty while the rest of the profile is complete; a later request usually fills them.

What happens for a deleted user?

lookupStatus is not_found and user is null. Their videos, followers, following and playlists can still answer found with rows, so do not infer a deleted user from a working list.

How many credits does a user lookup 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.
