      AsyncAPI 2.6 specification for Vimeo's documented webhook surface,
      covering the Vimeo OTT customer and subscription lifecycle topics
      (customer.created, customer.product.renewed, customer.tvod.created,
      and related events) delivered via HTTPS POST to a subscriber URL.
      Vimeo's standard API webhooks (App Webhooks) are configured per
      API app from the developer dashboard. Note: Vimeo's official
      documentation states the standard API does not currently emit a
      webhook on transcode completion; transcode status must be polled.
