# The Simple API is deprecated

vimeo.com deprecated GET /api/v2/* without giving a shutdown date yet.

## What to use instead

Read a video's public metadata with oEmbed (GET https://vimeo.com/api/oembed.json?url=...) or with the Vimeo API (GET https://api.vimeo.com/videos/{video_id}).

- API: vimeo.com (vimeo.com)
- Kind: Removal
- Takes effect: no date given yet
- Calls after that day: fail
- Calls it hits: `GET /api/v2/*`
- Source: [Announcement](https://help.vimeo.com/hc/en-us/articles/12427942328209-Deprecated-APIs-libraries-and-upload-methods)
- Verified: November 6, 2026, against vimeo.com's own pages

## vimeo.com's words

> This API is no longer maintained or supported. We recommend that developers utilize our oEmbed implementation to obtain the same metadata for embeddable videos.
