Get video id from Vimeo url

Question

I'm trying to find the best regexp to fetch vimeo video id from URL.

Example urls :

https://vimeo.com/11111111
http://vimeo.com/11111111
https://www.vimeo.com/11111111
http://www.vimeo.com/11111111
https://vimeo.com/channels/11111111
http://vimeo.com/channels/11111111
https://vimeo.com/groups/name/videos/11111111
http://vimeo.com/groups/name/videos/11111111
https://vimeo.com/album/2222222/video/11111111
http://vimeo.com/album/2222222/video/11111111
https://vimeo.com/11111111?param=test
http://vimeo.com/11111111?param=test

My current regexp which doesn't work:

/http:\/\/(www\.)?vimeo.com\/(\d+)($|\/)/

Since 2016. And @Martin Ender said no longer up to date

So here is a API solution : (without regexp but API caller and safe!)

jQuery :

function GetVimeoIDbyUrl(url) {
  var id = false;
  $.ajax({
    url: 'https://vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url='+url,
    async: false,
    success: function(response) {
      if(response.video_id) {
        id = response.video_id;
      }
    }
  });
  return id;
}

Minify :

function GetVimeoIDbyUrl(e){var i=!1;return $.ajax({url:"https://vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url="+e,async:!1,success:function(e){e.video_id&&(i=e.video_id)}}),i}

Pure/Native JS : (IE9+ & Modern browsers)

function GetVimeoIDbyUrl(url) {
  var id = false;
  var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
  request.open('GET', 'https://vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url='+url , false);
  request.onload = function() {
    if (request.status >= 200 && request.status < 400) {
      var response = JSON.parse(request.responseText);
      if(response.video_id) {
        id = response.video_id;
      }
    }
  };
  request.send();
  return id;
}

Minify :

function GetVimeoIDbyUrl(e){var t=!1,o=new XMLHttpRequest;return o.open("GET","https://vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url="+e,!1),o.onload=function(){if(o.status>=200&&o.status<400){var e=JSON.parse(o.responseText);e.video_id&&(t=e.video_id)}},o.send(),t}
