This project demonstrates how to transfer videos from a Vimeo account to an Amazon S3 bucket.

Prerequisites

• Python 3, installed
• A Vimeo account with a Standard plan or higher
• A bucket in Amazon S3

Step-by-Step

1. Install the necessary libraries using pip: pip install -r requirements.txt or pip3 install -r requirements.txt
2. In the same directory as the python script, create a file called .env, with the following format, and fill in the necessary fields:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY = ''
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = ''
BUCKET_NAME = ''
VIMEO_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER = ''
VIMEO_TOKEN = ''
VIMEO_CLIENT_SECRET =   ''
OPTIONAL_PATH = ''

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: the public and private keys, respectively, of a user with permissions on the bucket
  • The required permission is s3:PutObject on the bucket (arn:aws:s3:::<bucket-name>/*)
• BUCKET_NAME: the name of the bucket
• VIMEO_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER:
  • Go to https://developer.vimeo.com/apps
  • Create an App, filling in its name and description
  • Copy the value in Client identifier to the variable
• VIMEO_TOKEN and VIMEO_CLIENT_SECRET:
  • On the same page, under Authentication, select the field Authenticated (you)
  • Select the Public, Private and Video Files scopes
  • Click on Generate
  • In the Personal Access Tokens tab, copy the value in Token to the variable VIMEO_TOKEN
  • In the Manage App Secrets tab, copy the value in Client secrets to the variable VIMEO_CLIENT_SECRET
• OPTIONAL_PATH: if you want to transfer the videos to a specific path within the bucket, put the path in this variable WITHOUT the first and last /
  • For example: if videos should be stored in /videos/project/january/, the value in OPTIONAL_PATH must be videos/project/january
