video with privacy "password" #195

Open TaktakTaktouk opened 5 years ago

TaktakTaktouk commented 5 years ago

I need to access a video protected by a password then I want to set it again to the same privacy. How can I do that? Is it possible to read the password and set it again?

tommypenner commented 5 years ago

The password is only used with the Vimeo Player; it's not exposed using the API. However, you can update the password by editing the video: https://developer.vimeo.com/api/reference/videos#edit_video

I want to change the privacy to "anybody" for a few minutes then set it again to "password" by using the same password. how I do that if I can't read the password with API?

tommypenner commented 5 years ago

Your authentication token allows you to edit the video's settings -- you don't need to know the password.

TaktakTaktouk commented 5 years ago

Yes, I know! but I need to set the video to "public" then set it again to "password" again. My question is how to get the password of a video protected by a password?

@TaktakTaktouk We currently don't surface video passwords in the API, but after looking at our logic surrounding why that is, we're going to be changing that. I unfortunately don't have an ETA on that, but it will happen soon.

Thank you! It will be awesome if you show the password of a protected video with the API. Thanks for keeping me informed when you changing that.

Any news on this feature addition? It looks like password is still not available in the API

I have an even more basic issue:

When I request the api endpoint /video/12345 (where 12345 is the video ID), I get an error: 

[invalid_parameters] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                        (
                            [field] => password
                            [error_code] => 2223
                            [error] => Whoops! Please enter a password.
                            [developer_message] => Password not provided for a password protected video.
                        )

                )

I get this even if I use an authenticated access token (authenticated as the owner of the video) with Private scope.

Is there a workaround? I would be even fine sending the password as a parameter to the request, but that doesn't seem to work.
