Common use cases

Video performance tracking

Export your account videos with plays, likes, comments, and duration to track which content performs best. Use the date filters to compare performance across quarters or campaigns.

Audience research

Search public videos by keyword and export user names, locations, and profiles to understand who's creating similar content and where your audience is located.

Content compliance

Pull video status, privacy settings, and content ratings to audit your library for compliance or to prepare videos for specific platforms or audiences.

AI-powered content analysis

Export video names, descriptions, tags, and categories to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini for automated tagging, SEO optimization suggestions, or bulk description improvements.

Use cases by role

Track the performance of your video library by exporting plays, engagement metrics (likes, comments), and audience demographics. Compare which videos drive the most engagement and use location data to understand your geographic reach. Send video descriptions and tags to ChatGPT or Claude for SEO optimization or bulk tagging suggestions.

Platform-specific notes

  • Public videos search returns only videos marked as public on Vimeo — private or password-protected videos are not included

  • Search keywords support exact matches and partial matches; use one keyword per line

  • User data (location, website, bio) is only available if the user has made it public in their Vimeo profile

  • Video stats are updated in near-real-time but may have a slight delay

  • Custom columns can be combined and filtered in advanced settings to refine your report

  • Date range filtering can be applied via advanced filters to narrow results by creation or modification date
