The SitePoint PHP blog has a new tutorial posted showing you how to integrate the Vimeo API with Slim to create a simple web application allowing you to search for videos matching a simple query string.

In this tutorial, you’ll get to know the basics of the Vimeo API. With it, you can fetch information on a specific user or get information on the videos uploaded by the user. If the video is private, you can only get it from the API if the user has given permission to your app.

They start with helping you create a new application on the Vimeo developer site and introduce you to the API playground for trying out various API queries and fetching the results. Following this the tutorial starts in on the application itself, helping you get a Slim application up and running with Twig templating and the Vimeo API library. They bootstrap the application with your Vimeo application credentials and how to log into the API via access tokens. The flow then allows the user to connect their Vimeo account to your Slim application. With this connection in place the user can then view their profile information and execute a search on the "videos" endpoint with a simple query string.
