    Create an access token in vimeo for your account, I use code like this, adjust as needed for your needs:

    Web = createobject("roURLTransfer"): Web.SetCertificatesFile("common:/certs/ca-bundle.crt"):
    Web.InitClientCertificates(): Web.SetHeaders({Authorization: "bearer [Your Bearer Token"})

    ' Web.SetUrl("https://api.vimeo.com/me/videos?&per_page=5"): Data = Web.GetToString() ' Just to get full dump for a fielding layout

    Web.SetUrl("https://api.vimeo.com/me/videos?fields=uri,name,pictures.sizes,files&sort=alphabetical&per_page=100")
    ' Much faster to use specified fields once you know them, 100 is max page size

    while true ' Loop forever until an exit while is hit
      Data = Web.GetToString(): JSON = ParseJSON(Data)
      for each Item in JSON.Data
        Movie = CreateObject("roSGNode","ContentNode"): Contents.Push(Movie) ' etc,,,
        Movie.ContentType="Movie": Movie.EpisodeNumber=Item.URI: Movie.Title=Name
        Movie.ShortDescriptionLine1 = Item.Title
        SD=Item.Pictures.Sizes[0]: HD=Item.Pictures.Sizes[0]: FHD=Item.Pictures.Sizes[0]
        for each Size In Item.Pictures.Sizes
          if Size.Width>SD.Width and Size.Width<720 SD=Size
          if Size.Width>HD.Width and Size.Width<1024 HD=Size
          if Size.Width>FHD.Width and Size.Width<1980 FHD=Size
        end for
      Movie.SDPosterURL=SD.Link: Movie.HDPosterURL=HD.Link: Movie.FHDPosterURL=FHD.Link
      for each File In Item.Files
        if File.Quality="hls" Movie.URL=File.Link
        end for
      end for
    if JSON.paging.next=invalid exit while
    Web.SetURL("https://api.vimeo.com"+JSON.paging.next)
    end while

    Home, showcases, choose your showcase, then choose TV apps. (have to add videos to showcases from the general tab of the video first)

      Vimeo gives you the option to get a basic Roku feed from your Vimeo Showcase. 

      If you have organized your videos in only 1 Vimeo Showcase, then the feed you get from Vimeo is good and you can use it.

      But if you have organized your videos in more than 1 Vimeo Showcase (for example to categorize your videos or to organize them depending on different content-types e.g. movies, series, shortFormVideos etc.) then the feed from Vimeo does not really work:

      The reason is that Vimeo gives you a feed for each Showcase. So you get multiple feeds. But Roku only accepts one feed.

      What you can do is to use a Roku Feed builder that connects with Vimeo - like Tappla.com.

      Tappla let's you choose the Roku video type for each Vimeo Showcase and merges all together into one feed. Additionally you can also add HLS live stream URLs to your Roku JSON feed. 

      (Full disclaimer: I'm one of the founders of Tappla. If there is a feature missing for the Roku feed builder, let me know and we try to add it to the Roku feed builder asap).
