FAQ

Questions about Get Video.

What does the Get Video action do in Vimeo?

Returns full metadata for a single Vimeo video by ID: title, description, duration, privacy, play counts, and embed code. Used to read back details after upload or for catalog UI.

What inputs does Get Video require?

Required: Video ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Vimeo returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Get Video support batch operations?

Yes. Run Get Video inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Vimeo's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
