I guess, the vimeo-id in line 161 of the webpage might help. But I did not come any further.

vimeo-id is for the iframe with the referrer you can download the iframe

wget --referer "https://laracasts.com" "https://player.vimeo.com/video/243120448"

in the iframe "var config" holds the video links

ytdl-org / youtube-dl
