How do I upload a video to Vimeo from a URL or file?

Short answer: You can create video upload in Vimeo by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Vimeo Create Video Upload action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Video Upload.

What does the Create Video Upload action do in Vimeo?

Initiates a Vimeo video upload and returns a tus upload_link; the caller PUTs the actual bytes to that link separately. Use this when you have a video file (from S3 or a previous step) to host on Vimeo.

What inputs does Create Video Upload require?

Required: Title, File Size (bytes). Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Vimeo returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Vimeo returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Create Video Upload support batch operations?

Run Create Video Upload inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Vimeo's rate limits.
