  title: Vimeo OTT Analytics Videos API
  description: 'The Vimeo OTT API (formerly the VHX API) is a REST interface for managing a branded subscription video / over-the-top (OTT) service. It lets media companies manage customers (subscribers), products (subscription, rental, and purchase access agreements), videos, and collections (categories, series, seasons, movies, playlists), plus watchlists, embeddable-player authorizations, comments, live events, and analytics. All access is over HTTPS; requests and responses are JSON using the HAL hypermedia convention (_links, _embedded). Authentication is HTTP Basic Auth with a Vimeo OTT API key supplied as the username and a blank password; keys are generated on the Platforms page of the Vimeo OTT CMS.

    Scope note - HTTP methods and paths are confirmed from the public reference at dev.vhx.tv. Request and response field-level schemas below are modeled from the documented examples and generalized where the reference documents fields by example rather than as a formal schema.'
