Dailymotion PHP SDK

This repository contains the official open source PHP SDK that allows you to access the Dailymotion API from your website.

Usage

Authentication

The Dailymotion API requires OAuth 2.0 authentication in order to be used. This library implements three granting methods of OAuth 2.0 for different kind of usages.

Authorization Grant Type

This mode is the mode you should use in most cases. In this mode you redirect the user to an authorization page on Dailymotion, and you script is called back once the end-user authorized your API key to access the Dailymotion service on its behalf.

Here is a usage example:

<?php

$api = new Dailymotion();
$api->setGrantType(Dailymotion::GRANT_TYPE_AUTHORIZATION, $apiKey, $apiSecret);

try
{
    $result = $api->get('/me/videos', array('fields' => 'id,title,description'));
}
catch (DailymotionAuthRequiredException $e)
{
    // Redirect the user to the Dailymotion authorization page
    header('Location: ' . $api->getAuthorizationUrl());
    return;
}
catch (DailymotionAuthRefusedException $e)
{
    // Handle case when user refused to authorize
    // <YOUR CODE>
}

Password Grant Type

If you PHP application isn't a web application and cannot redirect the user to the Dailymotion authorization page, the password grant type can be used. With this grant type you have the responsibility to ask the user for its credentials. Make sure you API secret remains secret though.

<?php

$api = new Dailymotion();

if (isset($_POST['username']) || isset($_POST['password']))
{
    $api->setGrantType(Dailymotion::GRANT_TYPE_PASSWORD, $apiKey, $apiSecret, $scope = array('manage_videos'),
                       array('username' => $_POST['username'], 'password' => $_POST['password']));
}
else
{
    $api->setGrantType(Dailymotion::GRANT_TYPE_PASSWORD, $apiKey, $apiSecret, $scope = array('manage_videos'));
}

try
{
    $result = $api->get('/me/videos', array('fields' => 'id,title,description'));
}
catch (DailymotionAuthRequiredException $e)
{
    // Ask user's Dailymotion login/password
    // <YOUR CODE>
}

Client Credentials Grant Type

If you don't need to access the Dailymotion API on behalf of a user because, for instance, you plan to only access public data, you can use the CLIENT_CREDENTIALS grant type. With this grant type, you will only have access to public data or private date of the user owning the API key.

<?php

$api = new Dailymotion();
$api->setGrantType(Dailymotion::GRANT_TYPE_CLIENT_CREDENTIALS, $apiKey, $apiSecret);
$result = $api->get('/videos', array('fields' => 'id,title,description'));

File Upload

Certain methods like POST /videos requires a URL to a file. To create those URLs, the uploadFile() method can be used to create such URL:

$url = $api->uploadFile($filePath);

You can then use this URL as an argument to methods requiring a URL parameter. For instance to create a video:

$result = $api->post('/videos', array('url' => $url));
