Please update the API for video's from Vimeo

#1

Hi all,
Since a few months videos from Vimeo can no longer be added properly to a list. There is no preview and no clickable link.
I have asked Vimeo and they say it is because List.ly is referring to the old API. Would you please update this to the new REST Api (https://developer.vimeo.com/api/guides/start) or the oEmbed (https://developer.vimeo.com/api/oembed)? I hope this makes sense. I am not a developer - that is what Vimeo says :slight_smile:

Thank you for a speedy update, as I would like to add some new videos!

Best regards,
Ellen van Aken

You can see an example of the issue in the top of my list: https://list.ly/list/27Yb-ellens-intranet-promotion-videos

@EllenvanAken-SP we made som updates to how we pull data from various websites including Vimeo. Please check and let us know if it’s working for you again.

Hi Tim, unfortunately it does not. It still does not show the video image, but just an unclickable URL of the video.
Thanks for your help,
Best regards,
Ellen

@EllenvanAken-SP can you please share the Vimeo url that you are trying to add?

@EllenvanAken-SP checking your list, I noticed that this Vimeo URL does not exist anymore on Vimeo itself: https://vimeo.com/368344454. You can try a working URL and let us know

Hi Tim, apologies for the delay - I have had a very busy time.
It appears that most video’s from Vimeo do not show a thumbnail, for example https://vimeo.com/398493039.
However, I tried this one (https://vimeo.com/397293166) which shows a small thumbnail when uploading (it used to be full-size) and it shows the thumbnail very pixelated on the “front end”. So this one behaves a little better, but it still is not as good as it was. I have left this on my list so you can compare it to nrs. 16 and 17 in my list which are also from Vimeo.
Thank you, best regards,
Ellen
