Vimeo readurl returning 403 #37

Closed theriex closed 5 years ago

theriex commented 5 years ago

On Sat, 07 Sep 2019 20:35:51 +0000 a membic created for https://player.vimeo.com/video/358519327 resulted in a 403 fetch failure. If this is not a temporary traffic issue, then investigate if there is an API available for automated retrieval of meta information used to fill out the membic details, and/or if there is a workaround available.

It was not a temporary traffic issue. Vimeo is really not liking it if you call their site directly to get basic info. All calls are to be made through the API. The good news is the API seems to work, so I've connected this up. Remains to be seen if the quota will be blown for the access token we are using, or other issues arise, but for now this appears to be working so I'm closing out the issue.
