Data, retrieval, actions, identity, and operating limits
A field-by-field summary of what the reviewed first-party references actually support. Publisher update dates and BYO-UI review dates are shown separately below.
02 · Data you can retrieve
Video library, metadata, analysis, and supported account context.
03 · Actions and write paths
Video-management operations exposed by the server; confirm upload, edit, move, and delete tools individually.
04 · Authentication and permissions
Vimeo account/API authentication Vimeo plan, library, folder, and user permissions apply.
05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery

Single-platform patterns
- Video library and distribution operations console
- Media production console
- Localization and variant studio
- Review-and-approval queue
Multi-platform compositions
- Vimeo + publishing or campaign platform: media production console
- Vimeo + DAM or CMS + social or video distribution system: cross-system decision workspace
Evidence and dates
First-party references, with publisher and review dates separated
“Publisher updated” is shown only when the page exposes an update date. “BYO-UI reviewed” records when this research checked the reference. A missing publisher date is reported as missing—not replaced with the review date.
