Connecting your Vimeo accounts
Before you can start aggregating content from Vimeo, your Buzzspark account must have at least one valid connection with a Vimeo account.
Buzzspark uses the Vimeo API to ingest content from Vimeo, which requires all requests to be authenticated. The process of authentication involves connecting your Vimeo account to Buzzspark and granting permission for Buzzspark to aggregate content on your behalf.
Buzzspark will never publish posts on your behalf and at no point will your account information be exposed or used by Buzzspark for anything other than aggregating content.
Yes, and we recommend doing so for busy campaigns, or if you have large sets of content to backfill.
An individual Vimeo account can only be connected to one Buzzspark account. To connect the same Vimeo account with another Buzzspark account, you must first remove it from any other Buzzspark account it is already connected with.
Once logged into Buzzspark, follow the steps below to connect your Vimeo account.
From the left menu, browse to Settings > Connections.
Click on the Vimeo tab at the top.
Then click on the Sign in with Vimeo button.
In the Vimeo login window that pops-up, login using the credentials of the Vimeo account you want to connect. You will not see this page if you are already logged into Vimeo and you can skip to the next step.
Click on the Allow button to authorise Buzzspark to access your account.
Buzzspark will never publish posts on your behalf and at no point will your account information be exposed or used by Buzzspark for anything other than aggregating content.
You will automatically be returned to the Buzzspark Connections page and your Vimeo account will appear in the list of connected accounts.
You can connect additional Vimeo accounts, Re-Connect or Remove existing accounts at any time from the Connections page.
