Getting a video of personal videos on Vimeo

Question

This is a reposition from the vimeo forum, but since no one is responding, I try here:

I’ve been trying to get my head completely for several hours, but it seems to me that this does not work. I want to get thumbnails for private videos using the advanced vimeo api . This is what I have right now:

$vimeo = new phpVimeo($consumer_key, $consumer_secret, $access_token, $access_token_secret); $result = $vimeo->call('vimeo.videos.getThumbnailUrls', array('video_id ' => $video_id)); 

When I try to do this, I keep getting an error

 "Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'VimeoAPIException' with message 'Invalid signature' ". 

I am absolutely sure that the keys and secrets are correct. Do I need to do more to make this work? Of course, it would be great to have an example where I just need to put all my key data, and it works.

early!

Answer 1

There are several ways to help resolve your signature errors. First, I want to explain some terminology.

• Api Endpoint is the request you are requesting.
• Client ID / Client Secret . - A pair of tokens provided to you when creating the Api application.
• Token - a token created during user authorization. This token cannot be used to make api calls.
• OAuth Token / Token Secret . - A pair of tokens provided to you when sending the user through the authorization workflow.
• The base string is a specially formatted string containing all the information related to your API request.
• The OAuth signature is a hash token that represents the request you make. This is generated using the baseline, your client ID and privacy, as well as the optional token and oauth secret key.

Troubleshooting

• Try using the latest version of the official PHP library: https://github.com/vimeo/vimeo-php-lib .
  • If this works, there is a problem in your code. Go to step 2.
  • If that doesn't work, let Vimeo know. You do not need to continue these steps.
• Using the Hueniverse Interactive Guide: http://hueniverse.com/oauth/guide/authentication/
  • Make a request and write down each URL, title and parameter. Also include the base line.
  • Click all the plus signs to expand the input forms, and then fill out all the relevant data.
• Make sure the Hueniverse base line matches your own created base line
  • If this matches, and the signature is still incorrect, you are probably incorrectly performing the hmac signature. Check all your tokens, feel free to contact Vimeo.
  • If the base line does not match, make sure you follow the specification: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5849#section-3.4.1
• If all else fails, it is best to contact Vimeo directly. They can look for your authentication tokens and expected signatures.
