About this endpoint
GET /v1/dailymotion/videos/{videoId}/comments/{commentId}/replies returns lookupStatus, total, replies[] and page. Each reply carries id, text, createdAt, kind, depth, likeCount, parentId, rootId, replyToAuthor, timestamps[] and author.
Take commentId from id on a top-level comment returned by the comments route; it is a base64 id that decodes to Comment: and a hex value. Replies come oldest first and a page holds 20. Dailymotion treats an unknown comment id and a thread with no replies the same way, with no rows and no error, so found here describes the video. The video id must still match the thread.
Dailymotion Comment Replies API FAQ
Where do I get the comment id?
From the id field of a top-level comment returned by GET /v1/dailymotion/videos/{videoId}/comments. It is a base64 string such as Q29tbWVudDo2YTVlYWRkNWNhMWU1ZTMzYzdmNzQ2OGI=.
Why is the reply list empty for an id I made up?
Dailymotion treats an unknown comment id and a thread with no replies the same way, with no error and no rows. lookupStatus found is about the video, not proof that the comment exists. To prove a comment exists, read it from the video's comments pages before requesting its replies.
Which order are replies in?
Oldest first. A page holds 20 replies, and page selects the next page. Each page is a separate request.
How much does a replies 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.
