I need to hide video embedding or deactivate the video once it reaches 200 views. Is it possible to check the count of views of a video on Vimeo via API? I can't find this information on the API reference...
I'm trying with this call:
http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/283030956.json
that video is hidden on vimeo but embedded in a website. When I call the url it returns 283030956 not found.
Is it a problem with the video's privacy?
It looks like the video at https://vimeo.com/283030956 either doesn't exist, or is private. The old Simple API you're using (with the path /api/v2/video/[video_id].json) can only access videos public on Vimeo.
(The Simple API is also deprecated.)
The video's total play count is returned when getting the video's metadata via the full-fledged core API:
curl --location --request GET 'https://api.vimeo.com/videos/[video_id]' \
--header 'Accept: application/vnd.vimeo.*+json;version=3.4' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer [auth_token]' \
