Question

I'm developing a software which streams videos from vimeo. But, I don't know how to fetch it's direct URL.

Suppose the URL of vimeo video is: http://vimeo.com/78848064 But, IDM captures the direct URL of it as, http://pdl.vimeocdn.com/82070/105/203391355.mp4?token2=1387027682_29600487ac61980514ca8d3d014ea6a4&aksessionid=561c553c97d5676a

So, how is this possible ?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I think there is one similar software that you might be interested to look into. Internet Video Manager. http://www.ivmindia.com

It uses a python back-end program (included in the same folder, named as dl.exe) to extract direct link to youtube, vimeo videos.

OTHER TIPS

Pro accounts have access to their own video files using the new (in beta) API3. If you would like access you can request it at vimeo.com/help/contact.
