How do I fetch a Vimeo video's metadata?

Short answer: You can get video in Vimeo by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Vimeo Get Video action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Get Video.

What does the Get Video action do in Vimeo?

Returns full metadata for a single Vimeo video by ID: title, description, duration, privacy, play counts, and embed code. Used to read back details after upload or for catalog UI.

What inputs does Get Video require?

Required: Video ID. 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 Get Video support batch operations?

Run Get Video 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.
