Dailymotion activities API specification

Question

There is no specification available for the possible values of the fields "type", "object_type" and "from_type" in the documentation of the Activity API.

I was hoping to retrieve activities for some events like:

• Removing a video from a playlist
• Adding a video to a playlist after having removed it from the same playlist (no activity in that case)
• Adding a playlist
• Editing a video (rename/change description or any other edit)

My question is :

Is there any way to retrieve those events with the Activity API? Is there any full specification for the "type" fields?

API types I know are for example :

• user.addVideoToPlaylist
• user.postVideo
• user.startLiveStream
• user.addComment

The documentation URL: http://www.dailymotion.com/doc/api/obj-activity.html

• group.noteAdd

For playlists:
