How to get playlists a Dailymotion video is a member of?

Question

I'm currently working on a project that uses daily motion as its video platform. It will contain several private playlists and videos and I need to be able to fetch video details including what playlist that video is a member of.

When querying the /me/video/<VIDEO_ID> endpoint, there is no field I can add to the fields query to retrieve a list of playlists and the /video/<VIDEO_ID>/playlists although undocumented, returns a 200 but with an empty list of results.

Using this documentation, there seem to be no way to get a list of playlists a video is a member of, am I correct?

Answer 1

You are using the right endpoint. To get the list of playlists a video is a member of, you can use the video connection: /video/<VIDEO_ID>/playlists

This connection should be documented, we'll investigate on this issue

Answer 2

Ok, I've figured out the issue, the video/<PRIVATE_VIDEO_ID>/playlists endpoint works but the playlist must be public.

There is still a bit of an issue, if I want my video object to contain their playlists, I'll have to query the video endpoint to get the fields and then to query its playlists separately.

Scenario would be; I want to display a list of latest videos and their associated playlists, for each video, I'd have to first query /video/<PRIVATE_VIDEO_ID> with the fields I need (in this case, title, private_id, duration, tags) and also query /video/<PRIVATE_VIDEO_ID>/playlists in order to get its playlists title.

It would be significantly more efficient if I was able to query for the playlists field in the /video/<PRIVATE_VIDEO_ID> endpoint.
