Answer 1

The Official php library has an undocumented uploadImage method here: https://github.com/vimeo/vimeo.php/blob/master/src/Vimeo/Vimeo.php#L433 that follow the image upload workflow described here: https://developer.vimeo.com/api/upload/pictures

Note that the PHP method takes a pictures_uri as the first paramter. This uri can be generated via any picture containing resource (such as videos). The uri is located in the resource representation under metadata.connections.pictures.uri.

For example:

GET https://api.vimeo.com/videos/12345

{
    ...,
    "metadata": {
        "connections": {
            "pictures": {
                "uri": "",
                ...,
            }
        }
    }
}
