Teams building on Social Fetch.

“Our TikTok and Instagram scrapers broke constantly. Social Fetch took us off that rotation — we ship product again.”

Daniel Reeve · Founder, Social Crow

  • “Transcripts at volume from one endpoint. No broken scrapers for our small team to maintain.”

    Marcus Lin · Founder, Voice Gecko

  • “Live profile data on every request. We never flag accounts from a stale cache.”

    Hannah Webb · Founder, Scam Finder

  • “Heavy concurrent load, no rate limits to negotiate. The rare API I haven't wrapped in retries.”

    Owen Pritchard · Founder, IP Flare

Vimeo API: common questions

Is there a Vimeo API for videos, profiles and collections?

Yes. Social Fetch has 31 Vimeo routes under /v1/vimeo: video, embed, captions, comments, credits and likers; user profiles and their videos, likes, appearances, showcases, channels, groups, followers and following; channel, group and showcase records with their videos, subscribers or members; video, user, channel and group search; categories, tag videos and On Demand titles; and a browse route. Authenticate with your Social Fetch API key in x-api-key.

How do I identify a video, user, channel, group or showcase?

Videos take a digits-only id such as 76979871. Users take a vanity handle such as staff, a numeric id such as 152184, or user185091330. Channels take a slug such as staffpicks or a numeric id. Groups take a slug such as creativeapps or a numeric id. Showcases take a digits-only album id such as 11959649. On Demand titles take a slug or numeric id.

What does lookupStatus mean?

found means the record was returned. not_found means the video, user, channel, group, showcase or On Demand title does not exist, is private, is password protected or was removed; Vimeo does not distinguish those cases. HTTP 200 only means the request finished, so branch on data.lookupStatus. The embed route also returns restricted when the owner has switched embedding off.

How are lists paged?

Every list returns a page block with page, perPage, total, hasMore and nextCursor. Send page.nextCursor back as cursor to continue with the same filters; the cursor stops working if you change them. A page past the last one is an empty page with hasMore false. total is null when no total is available, and Vimeo's totals can drift between pages.

What are the limits I should know about?

The follower list stops at 10,000 rows and sets capped: true when that limit is reached. Following, and the user, channel, group and showcase video, member and subscriber lists, are deep and take limit up to 100. Showcase rows carry play counts where available, and playsAvailable is false when some counts are missing; the videos are still complete. Captions are available for some videos only: when they are withheld, the route answers 503 temporarily_unavailable and is not billed, rather than returning an empty list. A private or unlisted video without its privacy link reads not_found.

What do captions include?

Each track carries id, language, displayLanguage, kind, label, source, default, cuesAvailable and cues. A cue has startSeconds, endSeconds and text. captionsComplete is true only when every track and every cue file is included. The player block adds public player metadata such as owner, storyboard and stream quality labels.

Can I get comments and credits?

Yes. video.comments.list returns comments newest first with author, text, createdAt, editedAt and replyCount. video.credits.list returns each credited name, role and user, with creditsComplete saying whether every credit Vimeo reports was returned. video.likes.list returns the users who liked a video.

How much does the Vimeo API cost?

Every Vimeo route charges one credit per completed request, and each page of a list is billed separately. Check meta.creditsCharged on every response. New accounts start with 100 free credits.

Can I use the Vimeo routes from the SDK, agents or MCP?

Yes. Every Vimeo route has a method on client.vimeo in the TypeScript SDK, a typed MCP tool, and reachability through Ask (POST /v1/ask) in plain English. Use the typed routes for production jobs.

The Vimeo API in detailHow the Vimeo routes work, what they cost, and how they differ from the official API.

Why teams use Social Fetch for Vimeo

Social Fetch exposes 31 routes under /v1/vimeo. Video routes cover one video, its embed record, its caption and subtitle tracks with parsed cues, its comments, credits and likers, and a browse list. User routes cover a profile, the user's videos, likes, appearances, showcases, channels, groups, followers and following. Channel, group and showcase routes cover the record and its videos, plus subscribers or members where Vimeo lists them. Search covers videos, users, channels and groups, and the catalog routes cover categories, tag videos and On Demand titles.

Every response uses the { data, meta } envelope. Record lookups carry data.lookupStatus, so a deleted, private, password-protected or never-existing video, user, channel, group, showcase or On Demand title comes back as a typed not_found instead of an error. The embed route adds restricted, which means the owner has switched embedding off.

Lists page with an opaque cursor or a page number. The user, channel, group and showcase video, member and subscriber lists are deep and take limit up to 100 (default 25). The follower list stops at 10,000 rows; following is deep. Each page of a list is its own request.

How to call the Vimeo API

  1. 1. Create an API key

    Sign up at Social Fetch and copy a key (sfk_…). New accounts get 100 free credits, enough to try every Vimeo route on a few records.

  2. 2. Pick the record and route

    Use GET /v1/vimeo/videos/76979871 for one video or GET /v1/vimeo/users/staff/videos for a profile's newest uploads. Video ids are digits, users accept a handle, a numeric id or user<id>, and showcases take an id. Send x-api-key on every request.

  3. 3. Page and branch

    Check data.lookupStatus before you store a row, keep requesting with page.nextCursor while page.hasMore is true, and bill from meta.creditsCharged.

What each Vimeo route returns

  • A video's title, plain and HTML description, upload and release dates, tags, categories, thumbnails, owner, privacy, embed permission and public counts.
  • Embed markup in one call, with restricted when the owner has turned embedding off.
  • Caption and subtitle tracks with language, kind, source and parsed cues, plus captionsComplete when a cue file is unavailable.
  • Profiles with bio, links, account flags, counts, avatar sizes, social links and last-changed time.
  • Channels, groups and showcases with their videos, subscribers or members, and the counts Vimeo reports.
  • Video, user, channel and group search plus categories, tag feeds and On Demand titles with prices and genres.

How much does the Vimeo API cost?

Each Vimeo route charges one credit per completed request, shown on every endpoint page. Each page of a list is its own request. Credits never expire on pay-as-you-go packs, and meta.creditsCharged on every response is the billing source of truth.

Social Fetch vs the official Vimeo API

Vimeo's developer API is built for apps you register, each with its own permissions. Social Fetch gives you one key and one response shape across video, profile, channel, group, showcase, comment, credit and catalog routes. Lookups return typed not_found values, lists share the same page block, and a video's embed and captions sit next to the video record instead of in a separate surface.
