## Vimeo integration

Vimeo is a video hosting, management, and sharing platform. Integrating Vimeo with Frontegg lets your application browse and manage videos, upload and edit content, and read video files on behalf of your users — all through Frontegg's integration layer (Vimeo API 3.4). You can authenticate with either OAuth 2.0 (recommended when connecting on behalf of multiple users) or a Personal Access Token.

Prerequisites
- A [Vimeo](https://vimeo.com/) account
- Access to the [Vimeo developer portal](https://developer.vimeo.com/apps) to create an app


### Connect to Vimeo with OAuth

You create an app in the Vimeo developer portal. The app provides the **Client ID** (client identifier) and a **Client Secret**, and defines the **callback URL** that Vimeo returns users to after they authorize access.

#### Step 1: Create an app

Sign in to the [Vimeo developer portal](https://developer.vimeo.com/apps) and click **Create an app**. Enter a name (for example, `Frontegg Integration`) and a description.

#### Step 2: Copy the credentials and set the callback URL

On the app page:

- Copy the **Client identifier** — this is your **Client ID**.
- Under **Manage App Secrets**, copy a **Client secret** (or click **Add secret** to create one).
- Under **OAuth Redirect Authentication → Your callback URLs**, add your Frontegg Redirect URL: `https://YOUR_MCP_GATEWAY_URL/integration-callback`


Keep your Client Secret safe
The Client Secret grants access to your account through the API. Treat it like a password and never expose it in client-side code or commit it to version control.

### Use a Personal Access Token instead

If you are connecting a single account rather than authorizing multiple users, you can use a Personal Access Token instead of the OAuth flow:

- On the app page, under **Generate an access token**, select **Authenticated (you)** and click **Generate**.
- Copy the token. It carries the scopes granted to the app (set under the app's **Permissions**).

### Configure the Frontegg portal

Configure the integration in the Frontegg portal using the method you chose:

1. Open the **Frontegg portal** and navigate to [ENVIRONMENT] → Integrations → Vimeo.
2. For **OAuth**, enter the **Client ID** and **Client Secret**. For a **Personal Access Token**, enter the token in the **Personal Access Token** field instead.
3. Click **Save**.


Vimeo uses the following scopes:

| Scope | Description |
|  --- | --- |
| `public` | View public videos |
| `private` | View private videos |
| `video_files` | Access video files |
| `upload` | Upload videos |
| `edit` | Edit videos |
| `delete` | Delete videos |


Keep your credentials secure
Never share or commit your Client Secret or Personal Access Token to version control.
