How do we come know that vimeo has processed the uploaded video?

Question

Once the video has been uplaoded to vimeo, how do i know that processing has been completed through API. So that i can embed the video into Iframe?

Answer 1

The API representation of a video contains a field, status. This field will contain a string representing the status of the video. It can be one of the following

• available
• uploading
• transcoding
• quota_exceeded (can not play because the quota was exceeded before uploading this video)
• uploading_error
• transcoding_error

So if you request https://api.vimeo.com/me/videos, each video will contain the status field with one of the above values.
