If you're experiencing issues with your Vimeo widgets, this guide explains the most common errors and how to resolve them. Each error below matches the message you'll see in Hurree.

If you encounter an error that isn't covered below, please contact our support team for assistance.

Explanation: Hurree was unable to verify your Vimeo connection. This usually happens when your authorisation has expired, your password has been changed, or access to Hurree has been revoked from within your Vimeo account.

How to solve: Reconnect your Vimeo account through Hurree to restore access. Once reconnected, your widgets will begin updating again from the next scheduled sync.

Explanation: Your Vimeo account has a payment issue that must be resolved before this request can be completed. Vimeo restricts access when a subscription has lapsed, or a payment method has expired, and some data is also only available on higher-tier plans.

How to solve: Check your billing settings in Vimeo and confirm your subscription is active and up to date, then try again. If your billing is in order but the error persists, contact your Vimeo administrator to confirm which features are included in your current plan.

Explanation: You don't have permission to access this Vimeo resource. This can occur if your user role has changed, access has been revoked, or you have not been granted the appropriate level of access within your Vimeo team.

How to solve: Check that your Vimeo account has the necessary access rights, or contact your administrator and ask them to review your permissions. Once the required access has been granted, refresh your connection and try retrieving the data again.

Explanation: The requested Vimeo resource could not be found. This may occur if a video, folder, or showcase has been deleted or moved within Vimeo, or if the reference is incorrect. It can also happen if a video's privacy settings have been changed so that it is no longer accessible.

How to solve: Review the relevant Vimeo account and verify that the resource still exists and is still accessible. If it has been removed, you may need to update your widget settings or select an alternative data source.

Explanation: The request could not be processed due to a missing or invalid parameter, meaning Vimeo could not complete it as expected.

How to solve: Check that all fields in your integration settings are correctly filled in and try again. If the issue persists, please contact our support team.

Explanation: Vimeo restricts the number of requests allowed within a given time window, and if your connected widgets are pulling data at a high frequency, this limit may occasionally be reached.

How to solve: Wait a moment before trying again; your access will resume automatically once the rate limit window resets. If you are consistently hitting this limit, please contact our support team so we can review your connector configuration.

Explanation: An unexpected error occurred on Vimeo's servers. This is not caused by any action on your part, and as the issue originates within Vimeo's infrastructure, it is outside of our control.

How to solve: Internal server errors are typically temporary and often resolve automatically. Wait a moment and try again, or check your widget after the next scheduled sync period. If the error persists after multiple sync attempts, please contact our support team for assistance.

Explanation: You may occasionally see 400: Bad Request. This indicates that one or more elements of the request sent to Vimeo were invalid or incorrectly formatted; it is typically handled automatically and is rarely caused by anything on your side.

How to solve: Review your integration settings for any incorrect entries and try again. If the error persists, please contact our support team, and we'll investigate.
