Vimeo app

Create a Vimeo app and request upload access so Bulkit can upload videos.

Ask for upload access early

Vimeo staff grant upload access per app, and it can take up to five business days. Until then, connecting works but every upload is refused.

Create the app

Go to developer.vimeo.com/apps and click Create an app. Give it a name and description. When asked if people other than you will access the app, answer Yes. Accept the terms.

The Create a new app form with Yes picked for other accounts

Add the redirect URI

On the app's page, scroll to OAuth Redirect Authentication. Under Your callback URLs, click Add URL + and paste the redirect URI from Bulkit (like https://api.bulkit.io/integrations/VIMEO/callback).

Request upload access

On the same page, under Permissions → Upload Access, click Request upload access and fill in the form. Once sent, it shows "Your upload request is being reviewed".

Copy the keys into Bulkit

Copy the Client identifier from the top of the page, and a Client secret from Manage App Secrets. Paste them into Channels → Platform apps → Vimeo in Bulkit.

Connect an account

In Bulkit, open Channels → Accounts → Connect account → Vimeo.

Good to know

  • The Vimeo login never expires, so you don't need to reconnect.
  • Unlisted videos, downloadable videos and analytics need a paid Vimeo plan on the connected account.
