What is the Vimeo Scraper?

The Vimeo Scraper is an Apify actor that pulls metadata from any Vimeo video, showcase, channel, or group page. Drop in a list of URLs and get back a clean dataset: title, duration, view count, likes count, available formats (MP4 SD/HD/4K), uploader, upload date, privacy status (public/unlisted/password-protected), description, tags. Password-protected videos are supported via the password input field.
