Uploading

How can I request upload access to the API and how long does it take?

You can request upload access after you've created your API application by visiting developer.vimeo.com/apps. Click on the name of your app and choose "Request Upload Access" in the top box.

Upload requests can take up to 7 business days to approve.

Can I upload directly to Vimeo, and skip my server entirely?

Yes! Our simple POST uploader is the simplest way to accomplish this, but if you want more features (like a progress bar, or resumable uploads) you can still use our streaming upload workflow via javascript.

Can my upload script support resumable uploads, or a progress bar?

Yes! Take a look at our streaming upload workflow. You can combine it with the JavaScript File object to create a rich upload experience.
