Vimeo API blocks data on private videos even to a whitelisted URL

[danfascia]

Videos "hidden from vimeo.com" which are private protected content do not offer any data to the open API even when attempting to embed on a whitelisted domain.

This means that no data (such as thumbnail URLs) can be pulled as JSON to the addon, essentially rendering it defunct.

The solution would be to implement vimeo API token based authentication in the addon so that it is able to retrieve video metadata and store it to the statamic fieldset entry.

I wish I could help but I lack the coding skills to make this happen.
