The Video ID for a Vimeo video is located at the end of the URL. The Video ID for a TeacherTube video is located at the end of the URL. The Video ID for a SchoolTube video is located after video/ within the URL.

To get the video ID from a Vimeo URL, you can use the following steps:

Copy the URL of the Vimeo video that you want to get the ID for.

Open the URL in your web browser.

Look at the address bar of your web browser. The video ID will be the series of letters and numbers after the last slash in the URL.

For example, in the following URL:

https://vimeo.com/456123456

The video ID is 456123456.

Note that the video ID may be different from the number displayed in the video's title or URL on the Vimeo website. The video ID is a unique identifier for the video and is used to embed the video on other websites or to access the video using the Vimeo API.

To get the video id from a Vimeo url, you can use the following steps:

  1. Copy the Vimeo url.
  2. The video id is the string of characters that appears after the last slash in the url. For example, in the url https://vimeo.com/123456789, the video id is 123456789.

You can also use the Vimeo API to retrieve the video id for a given url. The Vimeo API allows you to access and interact with Vimeo's video library and metadata. To use the Vimeo API, you will need to sign up for a developer account and obtain an API key. You can then use the API to search for a video by its url and retrieve its id.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

You can get the video ID from a Vimeo URL by using the Vimeo API. The Vimeo API allows you to interact with Vimeo's database and retrieve information about videos, such as the video ID.

Here is one way you could get the video ID from a Vimeo URL using the Vimeo API:

First, you will need to create an app on the Vimeo Developer website. This will give you access to an API key, which you will need to make requests to the Vimeo API.

Once you have your API key, you can use it to make a request to the Vimeo API for information about a video. The format of the request will depend on the programming language you're using, but an example in Python would be:


import requests

url = 'https://api.vimeo.com/videos/'
video_url = 'https://vimeo.com/[video_id]'
api_key = '[your_api_key]'

response = requests.get(url+video_url, headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer '+api_key})

data = response.json()

video_id = data['uri'].split('/')[-1]

print(video_id)

 

  1. The video_id will be returned as a string.

Alternatively if you only want to extract the video_id from the url, you can use python's urlparse library which helps you to extract the url components.
 

from urllib.parse import urlparse

url = 'https://vimeo.com/123456'
parsed_url = urlparse(url)
video_id = parsed_url.path.split('/')[-1]
print(video_id)
 

Please note that to use the Vimeo API you need to follow the terms and conditions provided by vimeo and also make sure that you don't exceed your rate limits.

The video ID in a Vimeo URL can be found by using the following steps:

  1. Take the full URL of the Vimeo video (e.g., https://vimeo.com/12345678)
  2. Locate the unique video ID, which is the series of numbers at the end of the URL (e.g., 12345678)

This ID can be used to embed or share the video or access it via the Vimeo API.

You can also use regular expressions to extract the id from the url if you want to automate the process.

To get the video id from a Vimeo URL, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Vimeo video in your web browser.
  2. Look at the URL in the address bar of your web browser. The video ID is the string of numbers that comes after the final slash (/) in the URL.

For example, if the Vimeo URL is https://vimeo.com/123456789, the video ID is "123456789". You can use this video ID to embed the video on your website or share it with others.

Alternatively, if you're using the Vimeo API, you can get the video ID programmatically by making a request to the API with the video's URL. The API response will include the video ID in the JSON data.
