how do you download video from dailymotion

I want to build a bot that downloads videos from Dailymotion but so far I'm stuck at finding the video URL from the page.
So I navigate to the video's page and then I think I should scrap page for this:
addvariable("video", "http://www.dailymotion.com/cdn/FLV-320×240/video/blablabla"); But I can't find that code on the scraped page. I have checked many related pages including http://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/save-video-from-dailymotion.html and https://en.savefrom.net/10-how-to-download-dailymotion-video.html but in vain for unknown reason
Can anyone help me with this, please?

A cursory glance at their documentation makes it seem like DailyMotion doesn't want to allow people to download the videos, but I'd highly suggest taking a look at their development tools. This is how YouTube downloading services work their magic, and it's almost always more correct than scraping manually. Food for thought; you can shoot me a PM if you're super serious about this.
