    This has been one of the most requested features ever. Now, when you get a list of videos, you can specify that we give you the full video info object back. By default, it's the same as it always was, it changes only if you specify an extra parameter called "fullResponse" and give it a value of "1." This will give you a list of video objects identical to the response from vimeo.videos.getInfo.

    Also, that object now also have 3 thumbnails: small, medium and large. Specifically scaled to the widths of 96, 200 and 460.

    The problem was that when you got a list of videos, by user, by search or whatever we would show you the name, id, privacy status and just a little extra information. So if you needed a list of videos and needed some more information or a thumbnail, you'd have to make a bunch of extra calls. You no longer need to do that anymore.

    Have fun!

    That's great news. Is it possible to specify a start index? For example, is it possible to view the 10th to 20th search results?

    Also, is it possible to search by views, date added, etc. vs relevance?
  • Ted Roden plus 2 years ago
    To specify a start index, you do: "page=2" or page=3 or whatever.

    There are no other ways of searching at this point.

    So it's also not possible to see how many results were found from a specific query? If not, that seems like a nice feature to add

    oh and it would also be nice to add:
    length of video in fullResponse
    and
    ability to request comments starting from a specific index or page (eg. 11th to 20th comments)

    then the api would be pretty much perfect
  • Ted Roden plus 2 years ago
    You can get comments starting at a specific index.

    It's based on pages, so specify that you want "page=2"

    There might be a bug then. I tried to use parameters "per_page" in conjunction with "page" with the "vimeo.videos.comments.getList" function

    number of comments returned = per_page * page

    So for example, if I call the function in the sandbox with:
    video_id = 156783
    per_page = 3
    page = 8
    shouldn't I receive just 3 comments from page 8: the 22nd-24th comments? Instead I get 24 comments, with some arbitrary start index.

    Or am I not interpreting correctly what "page" and "per_page" parameters are supposed to do?
  • Ted Roden plus 2 years ago
    Wow. Right you are! It was totally broken, but it's fixed now.

  • Rudy Harjanto 2 years ago
    is there a reason why the number of results for a specific query is not returned with the "vimeo.videos.search" response?

    If you specify fullResponse=1 on vimeo.videos.getLikeList, the "liked_on" attribute disappears.
