Archiving Vimeo videos

How to select and format your Vimeo videos

You can archive select Vimeo videos by adding each to your collection as its own seed (for example: https://vimeo.com/7237058/). We recommend setting these seeds to the One Page seed type. This will enable you to archive the video from the live page without capturing excessive and undesired additional material that could negatively affect your account's data budget.

Scoping Vimeo seeds

No additional scoping is required for archiving Vimeo pages. 

You can archive Vimeo videos that are embedded onto other pages by expanding the scope of your crawl at the seed or collection level to include URLs that match the following SURT: http://(com,vimeocdn,

(collection level scoping rules shown here) 

Running your crawl

We recommend using Brozzler to crawl Vimeo videos.

What to expect from archived Vimeo seeds

At present, Archive-It's crawling technologies can successfully archive and Wayback can replay individual videos from vimeo.com when they are embedded on crawled pages or crawled individually as seeds. Please watch this space for updates on archiving Vimeo, including the ability to crawl and replay Vimeo channels (for example: http://vimeo.com/bates).
