FAQ
-
Can i use it without Client ID, Client Secret or Access Token?
-
No, you must have Client ID, Client Secret and Access Token with the required scopes/permissions. Please check Screenshot #5 for more details about the setup.
-
Which API scopes are required
-
Most of them. Especially if you are using the premium version. So it’s best to select the following at least: public, private, create, edit, delete, upload, video_files, interact
-
Do I need to do any tweaks to the hosting configuration for bigger files ?
-
The files are streamed directly from your browser to Vimeo using the TUS protocol, so the upload process doesn’t rely on the server where your site is hosted anymore. Therefore no need to adjust any settings.
