How to get album list from vimeo

Question

Currently working on a project where I have hosted all the video files to vimeo server.

Now I want to display the thumbnail of those videos on my page, using vimeo API. So far there is API available to fetch users data after authenticating them using application while this is not the case here.

How can I display those videos list as thumbnails on my page, any quick fix will be appreciated?

@Ma'moonAl-Akash your suggestion is for images only, I want to have the whole list of videos from my vimeo albums. — justnajm, Dec 09 '13 at 11:32

You should use the documentation Vimeo offers, this is what you should be using:

https://developer.vimeo.com/api/reference/videos#get_videos

in combo with: https://developer.vimeo.com/api/reference/videos#get_video_thumbnail

I'm not going to write you the code as it is very easy, and I would remove from you all the fun :-)

Use this URL to get video details in JSON http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/VIDEO_ID.json (Also available is XML: http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/VIDEO_ID.xml)

Example: http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/6271487.json

Then, check the values thumbnail_small, thumbnail_medium and thumbnail_large.

Update: To get the thumbnail for private video:

Download Viemo PHP library. Then use this code:

$video_id = 'VIDEO_ID';
$key = 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY';
$secret = 'YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET';

require_once('vimeo.php');
$vimeo = new phpVimeo($key, $secret);
$video = $vimeo->call('vimeo.videos.getInfo', array('video_id' => $video_id));

$img_small = $video->video[0]->thumbnails->thumbnail[0]->_content;
$img_medium = $video->video[0]->thumbnails->thumbnail[1]->_content;
$img_large = $video->video[0]->thumbnails->thumbnail[2]->_content;

thanks for the code now I will work around for albums and list :) — justnajm, Dec 09 '13 at 12:01
