i want to access the vimeo stats with the vimeo API to automatically get a list of the most viewed videos.
i am trying to access https://api.vimeo.com/me/videos/stats with an access token, but i get the following error.
{
"error": "Your access token does not have the \"stats\" scope"
}
is it not possibile to access the stats using the API, because i can't find a scope named "stats"? it only works from the stats admin page where i can download the stats export as an csv.
i read in a post from over a year ago that the stats api is not available yet, does anyone know if this is still the case, i could not find anything in the vimeo docs.
Stats are still unavailable via the Vimeo API.

Hey
I work for a marketing agency and I've developped a small script in Google AppScripts that pulls data from my customers' Analytics accounts and formats it into a Google Slides presentation.
How it works:
Our customers give us access to their Analytics views, and using Analytics API I get the id of each view shared with us on our main account and use these ids to make requests to the API.
The script works perfectly fine for almost every view, but recently I've had issues with some Analytics accounts.
Basically I get a 401 response code, despite having manager access to the given property.
The method I use to make requests to the API is Analytics.Data.Ga.get, and here is what the result looks like :
[18-10-23 06:57:02:128 PDT] {totalsForAllResults={ga:users=0}, totalResults=0,
columnHeaders=[{columnType=DIMENSION, dataType=STRING, name=ga:userGender},
{columnType=METRIC, dataType=INTEGER, name=ga:users}],
profileInfo={profileName=Toutes les données du site Web, accountId=xxxxxx,
profileId=xxxxxx, tableId=ga:xxxxxx,
webPropertyId=UA-xxxxxx-x, internalWebPropertyId=xxxxxx}, itemsPerPage=1000,
kind=analytics#gaData, query={end-date=2018-09-30, max-results=1000,
start-index=1, ids=ga:174758787, start-date=2018-07-01, metrics=[ga:users],
dimensions=ga:userGender}, containsSampledData=false,
id=https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga:xxxxxx&dimensions=ga:userGender&metrics=ga:users&start-date=2018-07-01&end-date=2018-09-30, selfLink=https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/data/ga?ids=ga:xxxxxx&dimensions=ga:userGender&metrics=ga:users&start-date=2018-07-01&end-date=2018-09-30}
When I go to that link "id" link, here's what I get :
{"error":
{
"errors":[
{
"domain":"global",
"reason":"required",
"message":"Login Required",
"locationType":"header",
"location":"Authorization"
}
],
"code":401,
"message":"Login Required"
}
}
I gathered this has to do with the OAuth2 protocol, which I never had to worry about since it's usually automatically handled by AppScripts.
I've looked around pretty much everywhere trying to fix the problem myself, but I can't seem to wrap my head around the OAuth 2 protocol, and the way it works in this very case.
I've already created credentials for my script, so I have access to my client id and client secret for this project.
My assumption is that the tokens for the problematic accounts have expired, and I need to refresh them somehow and give them the right scope. I just have no idea how to do that.
I would be very thankful if anyone could enlighten me on this one :)
Have a nice day!!
Fixed the problem, turns out it has nothing to do with the OAuth2 protocol. The demographics reports were simply turned off in Analytics for these accounts, which is why I wasn't getting any response from my query.
If anyone is wondering, the error 401 in the REST request is because no token or key is passed at the end (using "?key=..." or "access_token=..."), so it's like some anonymous person tried to access the data.
If you wonder how to get the acess token, you can get it token using Query Explorer. After running a query, select "Include current access_token in the Query URI (will expire in ~60 minutes)."
Anyway, this can be closed.
I need to check my own upload quota.
As described in docs, I use GET https://api.vimeo.com/me
API response doesn´t return expected value:
In the response, find the upload_quota object, look for the space
object inside it, and check the value.
Has API changed? thanks
One of two things is happening:
Your API app has not yet been granted upload permission. To request upload access, visit your app's management page at https://developer.vimeo.com/apps, click on "Request Upload Access", and fill out the request form.
If your API app already has upload permission, the token used to authenticate the request may not have the upload scope. When a token lacks the upload scope, upload-related metadata like the upload_quota array will not return.
I hope this information helps!
Anybody can help or enlighten me with my issue:
I'm a Java developer and I have an existing smart printer app called GDrive App. It uses Google Drive API (oauth 2.0, gdata-version 2.0 and 3.0 for download-print file) .
This has been working for months until now. Actually, only the download-printing part is no longer working this time, I can still access the app (retrieve files, create folder, search and delete files).
Actual problem:
I keep on getting 401 error when I try to download file (to input stream) for printing. It's confusing because I already provided all the necessary information during the request. And it has been working for many months. No changes of the code. Weird.
I have this for headers:
[Authorization: Bearer ya29.CjAkA8uPBUsKWYMSEDpPxUbP_vtQJOKfCZ7O8I4GkpUkN70bGgnDTAVYiVW2m353H2Y
, GData-Version: 3.0
]
While executing this URL to download and print resource, I couldn't access this.
https://doc-0o-7o-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/l9c2gms12ko7qqfc58putbb2v38kkvmm/dp5l9kmpu48kdi8mp2rvtmc1dm1f41tk/1468828800000/09859633411849852329/09859633411849852329/0ByU-nFK_03gtZGhBZkxCYmExeGc?e=download&gd=true
Error 401 means that you aren't authorized properly. Most likely the ya29.CjAkA8uPBUsKWYMSEDpPxUbP_vtQJOKfCZ7O8I4GkpUkN70bGgnDTAVYiVW2m353H2Y access token you are using expired and you have to request another.
You should write your code to anticipate the possibility that a granted token might no longer work. A token might stop working for one of these reasons:
The user has revoked access.
The token has not been used for six months.
The user changed passwords and the token contains Gmail, Calendar,
Contacts, or Hangouts scopes.
The user account has exceeded a certain number of token requests.

You can use GoogleAuthorizationCodeTokenRequest to request an access token and possibly a refresh token.
I'm trying to use the Graph API to get the feed of multiple public groups then that of multiple users.
When it comes to the feed of groups, it works flawlessly, all I have to do is fetch the following :
graph.facebook.com/$group_id/feed?limit={feedLimit}&access_token={access_token}
My access token being comprised of: AppID|AppSecret
However when it comes to fetching the feed of a user (Whose confidentiality settings are set to public of course) all I get is an empty answer. I would've thought it impossible to get such info and stopped there but then I stumbled upon ApiGee. All I have to do then is authenticate as a user (facebook-Authenticated-user) and it works.
Here's an image of it: http://s9.postimg.org/ynq5tar9r/feed.jpg
My question is : "How is that possible? I've read all I could in the docs and I still can't understand how it works. And how can I remedy that?"
Thank you.
The token you are using is an App token (AppId|AppSecret). With the app token you can't really get users personal feeds. With ApiGee you authenticated to get a user token, which can be used to fetch posts on the authenticated user's feed.

1) Is there a sandbox I can use to test vimeo's PHP API ( github.com/vimeo/vimeo.php ) with my basic account before going PRO? Or how do you recommend testing with "dummy" videos?
2) I received my API Key and Secret here: developer.vimeo.com/apps/[myUniqueID] .
When testing the php API, I'm able to get my user info via $user_data = $vimeo->request('/me'), but when I try to upload a file, I'm getting the following error. I tested to be sure the file is accessible with file_get_contents() and it is. Suggestions? Is this error related my account still being reviewed?
"Server reported: Unable to get an upload ticket."
Thanks
There is no sandbox yet for the new Vimeo API. It should be live some time in July.
You can see if your app is still pending review from your app page. If you have been approved for upload access, and you are still encountering this issue contact vimeo through https://vimeo.com/help/contact and they can find out more.
