FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

VimeoConnector
Helper class to connect to Vimeo and download video information based on video ID or URL
This package provides a class with connection and helper functionality to allow gathering video information if you have the URL or ID. Made this just 'cause all those others out there were not to my particular liking.
Installation
Dependencies
This package was tested with
- PHP 7.3+ with ext-curl
- Laravel 8.0 (optional, but package includes an AddonServiceProvider for this)
Installation
Via Composer
Then add Vimeo key and secret to your .env file and you're good to go:
Connector functions
This package includes a single static class that will help you connect to Vimeo and get all the info you need if you have a Video Id. Does not (yet) work for events. If you only have an Url, see Helper functions below. Isn't that convenient?
Get all info as returned by Vimeo
Get all stills for a video
Instead of processing all that info yourself every time, why not use the built-in complementary function for that?
Get only the cover for the video
Now, why would you process all of those images yourself if you only want the biggest, baddest image on the block? This one returns the still that matches both the width and height of the video. It's probably the biggest and the best match. I know that's not always the best option, but it's a great approximation and there's always the function above if you need more nuance.
Helper functions
You can convert URLs to IDs for both events and videos. Isn't that great?
URL to ID
There are two ways to go about this. You can use the know-it-all function that will just give you an ID no matter if you use a video or event URL. If you need to validate that the link is either a video or an event, you are very welcome to try the separate functions instead.
ID to (Embed) URL
If you have either an Id or a full-fledged URL or even an embed code, these functions can translate any of those into either a Video URL or Ember URL, no questions asked.
