# How to connect

> How to connect the Vimeo data source to Adriel: authorize a Vimeo account through OAuth and import channel and video analytics.

Vimeo surfaces channel-level and video-level performance for a connected Vimeo account through the Vimeo API. As a video-hosting platform rather than a social feed, the Vimeo channel is the closest equivalent of a page or account on other organic-social sources, and metrics cover the entire library of videos hosted on the connected account.

## Before you connect

The following are required:

* A Vimeo account with permission to authorize third-party applications.
* Awareness that available metrics depend on the Vimeo plan tier (Free, Starter, Standard, Advanced, or Enterprise).
* Workspace permission to add a new data source.

## Connect Vimeo

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Vimeo connector">
    On the **Data Sources** page, search for **Vimeo** and select it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize through Vimeo OAuth">
    Sign in to the Vimeo account that owns the videos to track and approve the requested scopes. Authorization returns to the data source setup screen on completion.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the connection">
    Select **Save** to create the data source. On the first sync, lifetime metrics are retrieved for videos uploaded within the last 3655 days, and the daily-page window covers the last 90 days.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What gets imported

Lifetime channel and video data refreshes daily at 5:00 PM UTC; per-day rollups refresh at 6:00 PM UTC and overwrite the latest three days each cycle. Available metrics include plays, likes, comments, replies, and daily follower snapshots. Breakdowns include account, channel, video, and date.

For the complete metric and breakdown list, see the [Vimeo data reference](/data-sources/o-z/vimeo/data-reference).

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Some metrics return blank values">
    Available analytics depend on the Vimeo plan tier. Free accounts expose basic plays and likes; Starter, Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise plans progressively unlock richer engagement and audience data. Upgrade the Vimeo plan to surface additional metrics.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A video disappears or stops updating">
    Videos that are deleted, set to private, or otherwise made inaccessible through the Vimeo API stop returning new metrics. Metrics cached from earlier refreshes remain queryable until the situation changes.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Older history is missing">
    Follower-type metrics have no historical backfill — daily snapshots accumulate from the connection date forward. Delta values for videos older than the lifetime fetch window are not recorded.
  </Accordion>
