[Solved] How do I get the video upload link for uploading a video to my Vimeo account?

by


To do this you have to have a Vimeo account (this works with Plus level or better, don’t know about the others), have created a Vimeo app (in Vimeo), given it permission to upload, and gotten an access token. With all that in place, here is the code:

    HttpClient httpClient = new HttpClient();

    public async Task<string> getVimeoUploadUrl(int videoFileSize, string accessToken)
    {
        var vimeoUploadUrl = "";

        string vimeoApiUrl = "https://api.vimeo.com/me/videos"; // Vimeo URL

        try
        {

            string body =
                @"{'upload': {'approach': 'post','size': '" + videoFileSize + "'}}".Replace("'", "\"");

            HttpContent content = new StringContent(body);

            using (var requestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, vimeoApiUrl))
            {
                requestMessage.Headers.Authorization =
                    new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", accessToken);
                requestMessage.Headers.Add("Accept", "application/vnd.vimeo.*+json;version=3.4");
                requestMessage.Headers.Add("ContentType", "application/json");
                requestMessage.Content = content;
                var response = await httpClient.SendAsync(requestMessage).ConfigureAwait(false);

                response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

                var result = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);

                var myJsonObject = JObject.Parse(result);

                vimeoUploadUrl = myJsonObject.SelectToken("upload.upload_link").ToString();                  
            }

        }
        catch (Exception err)
        {
        // Do your own error handling!   
        }

        return vimeoUploadUrl;

    }
