CCExtractor is a tool for extracting closed captions and subtitles from video files - it doesn't extract metadata like airdates or timestamps from video hosting platforms like Dailymotion.

To get upload dates or metadata from Dailymotion, you would need to:

  1. Use Dailymotion's API: https://developers.dailymotion.com/api/
  2. Use a tool like yt-dlp which can show video metadata: yt-dlp --dump-json <URL>

CCExtractor works on local video files that contain embedded closed captions. If you download a video and it has burned-in or embedded captions, CCExtractor can extract those - but not platform metadata.

Closing as this is outside CCExtractor's scope.
